Context of Galatians 3:10
8And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles through faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9So then they who are of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 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. 11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live by them.

Commentaries on Galatians 3:10
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10As many as are of the works of the law - All that seek salvation by the performance of the works of the law are under the curse, because it is impossible for them to come up to the spiritual meaning and intent of the law; and the law pronounces them cursed that continue not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Hence, every Jew is necessarily under the curse of God's broken law; and every sinner is under the same curse, though…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10For as many as are of the works of the law - As many as are seeking to be justified by yielding obedience to the Law - whether the moral law, or the ceremonial law. The proposition is general; and it is designed to show that, from the nature of the case, it is impossible to be justified by the works of the Law, since, under all circumstances of obedience which we can render, we are still left with its heavy curse resting on us. Are under the curse - The…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-14Verses 6-14 The apostle proves the doctrine he had blamed the Galatians for rejecting; namely, that of justification by faith without the works of the law. This he does from the example of Abraham, whose faith fastened upon the word and promise of God, and upon his believing he was owned and accepted of God as a righteous man. The Scripture is said to foresee, because the Holy Spirit that indited the Scripture did foresee. Through faith in the promise of…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 10Paul here quotes Deuteronomy 27:26. This verse explains the curse Israel would experience if they did not follow all of God's commands in their covenant with him (see Deuteronomy 27:9–26; compare Deuteronomy 28:15–68; 31:26; Joshua 1:8; Malachi 2:2; see also Genesis 3:14–19; 4:10–12). Sinful humans cannot fully obey God's will (see Romans 3:9–20).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. Confirmation of Ga 3:9. They who depend on the works of the law cannot share the blessing, for they are under the curse "written," De 27:26, Septuagint. Perfect obedience is required by the words, "in all things." Continual obedience by the word, "continueth." No man renders this obedience (compare Ro 3:19, 20). It is observable, Paul quotes Scripture to the Jews who were conversant with it, as in Epistle to the Hebrews, as said or spoken; but to the…Read the comment
