Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(15) But in reality the Law is unable to admit them to this. It has an entirely contrary function--namely, to call down punishment upon the offences that it reveals. The Law and faith, therefore, mutually exclude each other, and faith is left to be the sole arbiter of salvation.Where no law is.--Transgression is ex vi termini the transgression or breach of law, and therefore has no existence in that age of unconscious morality which precedes the introduction of law.Parallel Commentaries ...Greekbecauseγὰρ (gar)ConjunctionStrong's 1063: For.
