Galatians 3:12

But the law is not based on faith, ¹  but the one who does the works of the law ²  will live by them. ³ 

Le 18:5; Ne 9:29; Eze 20:11,13; Mt 19:17; Lu 10:25-28; Ro 4:4,5,14,16; Ro 9:30-32; Ro 10:5,6; Ro 11:6

¹ tn Grk “is not from faith.”

² tn Grk “who does these things”; the referent (the works of the law, see 3:5) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ 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.
