The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:11-12

Fourth argument—the inconsistency of Law and faith. "But that no man is justified in the Law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. But the Law is not of faith: but, The man that hath done these things shall live in them." I. JUSTIFICATION IS OUT OF THE SPHERE OF LAW . 1 . Not because a perfect obedience would not bring justification , for the fundamental principle of the Law is, "The man that hath done these things shall live in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Galatians 3:12

And the Law is not of faith ( ὁ δὲ νόμος οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ πίστεως ); but the Law is not "by faith." This is closely connected with the latter part of the preceding verse, as forming another portion of the proof which is there introduced by "for." Galatians 3:11 should end with a semicolon, not with a full stop. The δὲ at the beginning of this verse is slightly adversative, setting "the Law" in contrast with the notion of "living by or from faith." These words, "by or from... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:7

Know ye therefore ... - Learn from this case. It is an inference which follows, that all they who believe are the children of Abraham.They which are of faith - Who believe, and who are justified in this manner.Are the children of Abraham - Abraham was the “father of the faithful.” The most remarkable trait in his character was his unwavering confidence in God. They who evinced the same trait, therefore were worthy to be called his children. They would be justified in the same way, and in the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:8

And the Scripture - The word Scripture refers to the Old Testament; see the note at John 5:39. It is here personified, or spoken of as foreseeing. The idea is, that he by whom the scriptures were inspired, foresaw that. It is agreeable, the meaning is, to the account on the subject in the Old Testament. The Syriac renders this, “Since God foreknew that the Gentiles would be justified by faith, he before announced to Abraham, as the scripture saith, In thee shall all nations be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:9

So then they which be of faith - They whose leading characteristic it is that they believe. This was the leading trait in the character of Abraham, and this is the leading thing required of those who embrace the gospel, and in the character of a true Christian.Are blessed with faithful Abraham - In the same manner they are interested in the promises made to him, and they will be treated as he was. They are justified in the same manner, and admitted to the same privileges on earth and in heaven. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:10

For as many as are of the works of the law - As many as are seeking to be justified by yielding obedience to the Law - whether the moral law, or the ceremonial law. The proposition is general; and it is designed to show that, from the nature of the case, it is impossible to be justified by the works of the Law, since, under all circumstances of obedience which we can render, we are still left with its heavy curse resting on us.Are under the curse - The curse which the Law of God denounces.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:11

But that no man is justified ... - The argument which Paul has been pursuing he proceeds to confirm by an express declaration of the Bible. The argument is this: “It is impossible that a man should be justified by the Law, because God has appointed another way of justification.” But there cannot be two ways of obtaining life, and as he has appointed faith as the condition on which people shall live, he has precluded from them the possibility of obtaining salvation in any other mode.For, The... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Galatians 3:12

And the law is not of faith - The Law is not a matter of faith; it does not relate to faith; it does not require faith; it deals in other matters, and it pertains to another system than to faith.But, The man ... - This is the language of the Law, and this is what the Law teaches. It does not make provision for faith, but it requires unwavering and perpetual obedience, if man would obtain life by it; see this passage explained in the notes at Romans 10:5. read more
