Galatians 3:11-12

Context
3:11 Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith. 1  3:12 But the law is not based on faith, 2  but the one who does the works of the law 3  will live by them. 4 

1 tn Or “The one who is righteous by faith will live” (a quotation from Hab 2:4).

2 tn Grk “is not from faith.”

3 tn Grk “who does these things”; the referent (the works of the law, see 3:5) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 sn A quotation from Lev 18:5. The phrase the works of the law is an editorial expansion on the Greek text (see previous note); it has been left as normal typeface to indicate it is not part of the OT text.
