The Curse of Judgment

A closer inspection of the text, especially when translated appropriately, reveals what Paul has just said within a Jewish context. For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written. The Urgu Namu in the Greek is used here. If we don't obey those commandments, if we don't follow Torah, may we be cursed. It kind of sounds like if I'm trying to eat kosher, I don't know what I'm doing over here because apparently I'm cursed. And that has certainly been taught, hasn't it? Absolutely.
