Gal 3:11. Ἐν νόμῳ, in the law) Paul somewhat eagerly urges this matter, lest any one should say, I acknowledge that righteousness is not by the works of the law, but yet it is by the law itself. Many depended on the law, although they did not keep it, Rom 2:17; Rom 2:23. He answers, it is of no advantage to them that do it not, Gal 3:12.-παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ, before God) whatever it may be before men, Rom 4:2.-δῆλον, ὅτι, it is evident, because [or that]) The phrase refers to what follows: 1Ti 6:7; 1Co 15:27. Δηλονότι is used by the Greeks as one word, corresponding to the Latin id est. As concerns the fact, that no one is justified in [by] the law before God, it is beyond all doubt true, that the just shall live by faith. The former is alleged [referred to] as if still open to doubt, but the latter is τὸ δῆλον, a thing quite manifest, by which even the former ought to be placed beyond a doubt.-ὁ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως, the just by faith [he who stands just by faith]) See Rom 1:17.-ζἠσεται, shall live) The same word is in the following verse.
