Galatians 3:12 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. And the law is not of faith - It promises no forgiveness to believing, but requires obedience. It is not, What do you believe? but, What have you done? The man that doeth them perfectly, at all times, and in all places, he shall live in them; but if in any case he fails, he forfeits his life. See the notes on Romans 1:17, etc.
