This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Because (dioti, again, dia, hoti).
By the works of the law (ex ergōn nomou). “Out of works of law.” Mosaic law and any law as the source of being set right with God. Paul quotes Psa 43:2 as he did in Gal 2:16 to prove his point.
The knowledge of sin (epignōsis hamartias). The effect of law universally is rebellion to it (1Co 15:56). Paul has shown this carefully in Gal 3:19-22. Cf. Heb 10:3. He has now proven the guilt of both Gentile and Jew.
