12: ο δε νομος ουκ εστιν εκ πιστεως αλλ ο ποιησας αυτα ανθρωπος ζησεται εν αυτοις— edit Textus Receptus
12: And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.— edit KJV text
12: But the law is not of faith: but he that doth those things shall live in them.— edit Douay text


And the law is not of faith. The law is not a matter of faith; it does not relate to faith; it does not require faith; it deals in other matters, and it pertains to another system than to faith.

But, The man, etc. This is the language of the law, and this is what the law teaches. It does not make provision for faith, but it requires unwavering and perpetual obedience, if man would obtain life by it. See this passage explained See "Rom 10:5"
