Galatians 3:10-14 GNB
Those who depend on obeying the Law live under a curse. For the scripture says, "Whoever does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the Law is under God's curse!" [Deut 27:26] (11) Now, it is clear that no one is put right with God by means of the Law, because the scripture says, "Only the person who is put right with God through faith shall live." [Hab 2:4] (12) But the Law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, as the scripture says, "Whoever does everything the Law requires will live." [No imperfect person can do that!] [Lev 18:5] (13) But by becoming a curse for [instead of] us Christ has redeemed us from the curse that the Law brings; for the scripture says, "Anyone who is hanged on a tree is under God's curse." [Deut 21:23] (14) Christ did this in order that the blessing which God promised to Abraham might be given to the Gentiles [Gal 3:26-29] by means of Christ Jesus, so that through faith we might receive the Spirit promised by God.
Galatians 3:10-14 GW
Certainly, there is a curse on all who rely on their own efforts to live according to a set of standards because Scripture says, "Whoever doesn't obey everything that is written in Moses' Teachings is cursed." [Deut 27:26] (11) No one receives God's approval by obeying the law's standards since, "The person who has God's approval will live by faith." [Hab 2:4] (12) Laws have nothing to do with faith, but, "Whoever obeys laws will live because of the laws he obeys." [Lev 18:5] (13) Christ paid the price to free us from the curse that God's laws bring by becoming cursed instead of us. Scripture says, "Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed." [Deut 21:23] (14) Christ paid the price so that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to all the people of the world [Gal 3:26-29] through Jesus Christ and we would receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:10-14 LITV
(10) For as many as are out of works of Law, these are under a curse. For it has been written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things having been written in the book of the Law, to do them." [Deut 27:26]
(11) And that no one is justified by Law before God is clear because, "The just shall live by faith." [Hab 2:4]
(12) But the Law is not of faith, but, "The man doing these things shall live in them." [Lev 18:5]
(13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us; for it has been written, "Cursed is everyone having been hung on a tree;" [Deut 21:23]
(14) that the blessing of Abraham might be to the nations [Gal 3:26-29] in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:10-14 ALT
(10) For as many as are [trying to be justified] by works of [the] Law are under a curse, for it has been written, "Under a curse [fig., Condemned by God] [is] every [one] not remaining in [fig., carefully obeying] all the [things] having been written in the Scroll of the Law to do them." [Deut 27:26]
(11) Now that no one is justified [or, declared righteous] before God by [the] Law is evident, because "The [one] righteous by faith will live [or, The righteous will live by faith]." [Hab 2:4]
(12) But the Law is not by faith, _but_ "The person having done them [i.e. all the commandments of the Law] will live by them." [Lev 18:5]
(13) Christ redeemed us [or, set us free] from the curse of the Law, having become a curse on our behalf-for it has been written, "Under a curse [fig., Condemned by God] [is] every [one] hanging upon a tree"- [Deut 21:23]
(14) so that the blessing of Abraham shall come to the Gentiles [Gal 3:26-29] in Christ Jesus, so that we shall receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:10-14 NWT
10 For all those who depend upon works of law are under a curse; for it is written: "Cursed is every one that does not continue in all the things written in the scroll of the Law in order to do them." [Deut 27:26] 11 Moreover, that by law no one is declared righteous with God is evident, because "the righteous one will live by reason of faith." [Hab 2:4] 12 Now the Law does not adhere to faith, but "he that does them shall live by means of them." [Lev 18:5] 13 Christ by purchase released us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse instead of us, because it is written: "Accursed is every man hanged upon a stake." [Deut 21:23] 14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come to be by means of Jesus Christ for the nations, [Gal 3:26-29] that we might receive the promised spirit through our faith.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
