For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Confirmation of Galatians 3:9. 'They who depend on х ex (G1537)] the works of the law' cannot share the blessing, for they are under the curse "written," Deuteronomy 27:26, Septuagint PERFECT obedience is required by "in all things;" CONTINUAL obedience by "continueth." No man renders this (cf. Romans 3:19-20). Paul quotes Scripture to the Jews as conversant with it (cf. letter to the Hebrews) as said or spoken, but to the Gentiles as written. So Matthew, writing for Jews, quotes it as said or spoken; Mark and Luke, writing for Gentiles, as written (Matthew 1:22; Mark 1:2; Luke 2:22-23) (Townson).
