...the curse of the Law is pay-off in fines/sacrifices...
What you miss is that Paul is telling us that Christ personified the Truth which directly corresponded to the Reality of Jews practicing a cycle of breaking Laws, gifting the all-too-eager-to-receive priesthood, and then, repeating the same behaviors over again, as if they were even and had paid up their debt.
It is analogous to what Christianity had become after the first 1000 years, when people went to confession, tithed or bought amulets, assumed they had paid their debt to god up to date, then went out Friday night and repeated the sexual depravity as usual.

Gentiles and the Torah/Law...
Much that Paul wrote explains that he taught the gentiles about Christ and that they were exempt from observation of the Law or the specifics of the Torah except for the obligation to observe the Seven (7) Noachide Laws.
The Children of Noah are the Gentiles, comprising the seventy nations of the world. They are commanded concerning the Seven Universal Laws, also known as the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah or the Seven Noachide Laws.
These Seven Universal Laws pertain to:
1) Avodah Zarah: Prohibition on idolatry.
2) Birchat HaShem: Prohibition on blasphemy and cursing the Name of G-d.
3) Shefichat Damim: Prohibition on murder.
4) Gezel: Prohibition on robbery and theft.
5) Gilui Arayot: Prohibition on immorality and forbidden sexual relations.
6) Ever Min HaChay: Prohibition on removing and eating a limb from a live animal.
7) Dinim: Requirement to establish a justice system and courts of law to enforce the other 6 laws.
Men and women are equal in their responsibility to observe the Seven Universal Laws.
When a Gentile resolves to fulfill the Seven Universal Laws, his or her soul is elevated. This person becomes one of the "Chasidei Umot Haolam" (Pious Ones of the Nations) and receives a share of the World to Come.
The Torah calls one who accepts the yoke of fulfilling the Seven Universal Laws a "Ger Toshav" (a Proselyte of the Gate).
