Dialogue of Justin

Then I replied, "Just as God commanded the sign to be made by the brazen serpent, and yet He is blameless; even so, though a curse lies in the law against persons who are crucified, yet no curse lies on the Christ of God, by whom all that have committed things worthy of a curse are saved.[367]

Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

And again: "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth upon a tree."[337]

Tertullian An Answer to the Jews

every one who shall have hung on a tree."[188]

Tertullian Against Marcion Book III

I suppose, you endeavour to introduce a diversity of opinion, simply because you deny that the suffering of the cross was predicted of the Christ of the Creator, and because you contend, moreover, that it is not to be believed that the Creator would expose His Son to that kind of death on which He had Himself pronounced a curse. "Cursed," says He, "is every one who hangeth on a tree."[254]

Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

You cannot establish a diversity of authors because there happens to be one of things; for the diversity is itself proposed by one and the same author. Why, however, "Christ was made a curse for us,"[116]

Tertullian Against Marcion Book V

But yet it by no means follows, because the Creator said of old, "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree,"[117]

Tertullian Against Praxeas

Nay, but you do blaspheme; because you allege not only that the Father died, but that He died the death of the cross. For "cursed are they which are hanged on a tree,"[410]

Tertullian Against Praxeas

nor indeed did the apostle utter blasphemy when he said the same thing as we.[414]

Tertullian Of Patience

The Lord Himself was "cursed" in the eye of the law;[90]

Tertullian De Fuga in Persecutione

Why, in this very standing of yours there was a fleeing from persecution, in the release from persecution which you bought; but that you should ransom with money a man whom Christ has ransomed with His blood, how unworthy is it of God and His ways of acting, who spared not His own Son for you, that He might be made a curse for us, because cursed is he that hangeth on a tree,[47]

Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

is to be saved: for it is Christ Himself that "has re-deemed them from the curse of the law; "[240]

Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

and that "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law,"[252]

Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

Listen also to what I have to say on this other expression which has been adduced, viz., "Christ, who redeemed us from the curse of the law."[275]

Gospel of Nicodemus I The Acts of Pilate

knowing you shall know, O house of Jacob, that it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth upon a tree.[60]

Origen Commentary on Matthew Book XI

But do not suppose that these things go to establish the necessity of keeping the law of Moses according to the letter, because the disciples of Jesus up to that time kept it; for not before He suffered did He "redeem us from the curse of the law,"[69]
