He therefore that will avoid the curse, must lay hold upon the promise of blessing, or upon the faith of Abraham, or else he shall remain under the curse.
Here we see that the curse is as it were a flood, swallowing up whatsoever is without Abraham; that is to say, without faith, and the promise of the blessing of Abraham. Now if the law itself given by Moses at the command of God, maketh them subject to the curse who are under it, much more shall the laws and traditions do so, which are devised by men. He therefore that will avoid the curse, must lay hold upon the promise of blessing, or upon the faith of Abraham, or else he shall remain under the curse.
Martin Luther, Kregel, Galatians 3:10, p. 143.
KJV Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
