“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for
us, for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.’” Galatians 3:13
“Our most merciful Father, seeing us to be oppressed and overwhelmed
with the curse of the law . . . sent his only Son into the world and
laid upon him all the sins of all men, saying, ‘You be Peter that
denier, Paul that persecutor, blasphemer and cruel oppressor, David that
adulterer, that sinner who ate the apple in Paradise, that thief who
hung upon the cross, and briefly, you be the person who has committed
the sins of all men. See therefore that you pay and satisfy for them.’”
Martin Luther, commenting on Galatians 3:13.
