11. Galatians 3:10
Donald Campbell “Contrary to what the Judaizers taught, the Law could not justify; it could only condemn….The breaking of only one command even once brings a person under the curse; and since everybody fails at some point, all are under the curse. The proposition that a person can gain divine acceptance by human effort is therefore totally destroyed.”

12. Galatians 3:11
James Boice “One must not think that the law did nothing but condemn during all the centuries between the giving of the law through Moses and the coming of Jesus. On the contrary, the law itself showed the way of salvation.”
