Galatians 3:12

3:12 But the law is not based on faith, ⁵  but the one who does the works of the law ⁶  will live by them. ⁷ 

[1:19]  ¹ tn Grk “But another of the apostles I did not see, except…” with “another” in emphatic position in the Greek text. Paul is determined to make the point that his contacts with the original twelve apostles and other leaders of the Jerusalem church were limited, thus asserting his independence from them.

[2:11]  ² sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211).

[2:11]  ³ map For location see JP1 F2; JP2 F2; JP3 F2; JP4 F2.

[2:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “because he stood condemned.”

[3:12]  ³ tn Grk “is not from faith.”

[3:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “who does these things”; the referent (the works of the law, see 3:5) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:12]  ⁵ 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.
