On the Imputation of Adam's First Sin · §699

Man. Post. Cap. X: PLAC — Christ became a curse (Gal 3:13), not by that ban’s force but by gospel grace

But I wonder where the learned man got it that Christ on the cross bore the curse by the force and prescription of that law constituted by God, Cursed is he who hangs on a tree.

Paul does teach in Galatians 3:13 that Christ was made a curse for us, and proves it because he hung on a tree, and it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree.

But he does not teach that he was made a curse by the force and prescription of that law.

Latin

Miror autem unde habuerit Vir doctus, Christum in cruce maledictionem pertulisse ex vi & praescripto legis illius a Deo constitutae, Maledictus qui pendet in ligno. Docet quidem Paulus Gal. iii. 13. Christum pro nobis factum esse maledictionem, idque probat quia pependit in ligno, & scriptum est, Maledictus quisquis pendet in ligno. Sed non docet factum fuisse maledictionem ex vi & praescripto illius legis.
