JMNT(i)
8 Now the Scripture – seeing before [
as a picture]
that God is progressively putting the nations in rightwised relationship (setting the ethnic groups of non-Jews into the Way pointed out and freeing them from guilt)
from out of faith –
announced to (or: for)
Abraham beforehand the message of goodness, ease and well-being (or: And further – the Scripture perceiving in advance and making provision that He is presently making the multitudes fair and equitable {or: = including the Gentiles in the covenant} from trust and conviction as a source – God brought-before in Abraham the glad tidings of goodness {a gospel; an evangel}),
namely that, "All the nations, ethnic groups and multitudes will continuously and progressively be inwardly blessed (receive the inner Word of wellness; participate within the Good Word)
in a union with you (or: within you; in you; or: = in relation to you; or: = as in your case)." [
Gen. 12:3; 22:18]
9 So then, those from out of faith (or: = folks who are derived from trust and confidence and who come from a place of loyal allegiance)
are being constantly blessed (repeatedly given the Word of wellness; continuously made to participate in the Good Word)
together with the full-of-faith Abraham (or: the trusting, believing, convinced and loyal Abraham).
10 You see, however many people continue their existence from the midst of observances and works of Law (= Everyone who lives by deeds and actions based upon the Torah)
are continuously under a curse (a negative, down-focused or adversarial prayer; an imprecation),
for it has been and now stands written, namely that, "A curse (or: an adversarial prayer; imprecation) [
is settled]
upon all (or: [is] added to everyone)
not constantly remaining within all the things having been and standing written within the scroll of the Law [= Torah],
in order to do them." [
Deut. 27:26]
11 Now [
the fact]
that within [
the]
Law no one is in process of (or: in union with [the] Law or some legal practice or custom is no one normally)
being rightwised (put in right relationship; made just, fair, equitable, set free from guilt, or, placed within the Way pointed out; also: = made a covenant member)
at God's side (or: with God) [
is]
clearly visible and evident, because, "the fair and equitable man (the one in right relationship within the Way pointed out; the just one)
will continue to live from out of faith (or: the one [who is] just from out of faith, trust, and conviction, will progressively live),
" [
Hab. 2:4]
12 yet the Law is not (or: [Torah] does not have its existence) [
springing]
forth from out of faith and trust, but to the contrary, "the one ‘doing and performing’ them shall be constantly living [
his life]
within them (or: in union with these things).
" [
Lev. 18:5]
13 Christ bought us [
back]
out (or: redeems and reclaims us out by payment of the ransom)
from the midst of the curse (or: adversarial prayer; imprecation)
of and from the Law, while becoming (or: birthing Himself to be)
a curse (or: accursed One; an [embodied] adversarial prayer)
for our sakes (or: over our [situation]) –
for it has been and now stands written: "A curse (an adversarial prayer) [
is settled]
upon all (or: [is] added to everyone)
continuing hanging upon a tree (or: wood; a stake or pole)
" [
Deut. 21:23, omitting the phrase “by God,” after the word “curse”] –
14 to the end that the Good Word (the Blessing; the Word of wellness and goodness)
pertaining to Abraham (belonging to and possessed by Abraham; whose intermediary source is Abraham)
could within Jesus Christ suddenly birth Itself (or: may from Itself, within Christ Jesus, at once come into being [and be dispersed])
into the multitudes (the nations; the ethnic groups; the Gentiles),
so that we [note: "we" = the new "one" mankind?]
could receive the Spirit's promise through the Faith (or: to the end that we [all] may take in hand the Promise from the Breath-effect, through trust; or: in order that we [Jew and Gentile] can lay hold of and receive the Promise – which is the Spirit – through faith and conviction).
