Matthew Poole and continuators on Galatians 3:11

11 But that no man by the law is justified in the sight of God, it is evident , for the just shall live by faith .

The Apostle by another Argument proveth that sinners are not justified by works. He grants, they may be justified by their good and blameless living before men, so as that they may have nothing to say against them, but he says they cannot by such works be justified in the sight of God. His Argument is from the opposition that is between Faith and works. He proveth from Hab. 2.4. That we are justified by Faith: Where the Prophet saith, that the just (or righteous man) shall live by Faith, fetch his life from Faith, live his Spiritual life by Faith, and obtain Eternal life by Faith, the life of his righteousness shall be by faith.
