Leviticus 18:5 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

If a man keeps the “statutes” (i. e. the ordinances of Leviticus 18:4) and “judgments” of the divine law, he shall not be “cut off from his people” (compare Leviticus 18:29), he shall gain true life, the life which connects him with Yahweh through his obedience. See the margin reference and Luke 10:28; Romans 10:5; Galatians 3:12.

Leviticus 18:5

5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
