This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Under the curse (ὑπὸ κατάραν)
Better, under curse. There is no article. The phrase is general = accursed. Comp. ὑφ' ἁμαρτίαν under sin, Rom 3:9. The specific character of the curse is not stated. It is not merely the wrath of God as it issues in final destruction (Meyer); but it represents a condition of alienation from God, caused by violation of his law, with all the penalty which accrues from it, either in this life or the next.
Cursed (ἐπικατάρατος)
Only here and Gal 3:13. oClass. In lxx, see Gen 3:14, Gen 3:17; Deu 27:16-20; Isa 65:20; Wisd. 3:12; 14:8, etc.
Continueth - in (ἐμμένει)
The expression is figurative, the book of the law being conceived as a prescribed district or domain, in which one remains or out of which he goes. Comp. continue in the faith, Act 14:22; in the covenant, Heb 13:9; in the things which thou hast learned, 2Ti 3:14.
