Roma 3:5

3:5 But if our unrighteousness demonstrates ¹  the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he? ²  (I am speaking in human terms.) ³ 

Galatia 3:15

Inheritance Comes from Promises and not Law

3:15 Brothers and sisters, ⁴  I offer an example from everyday life: ⁵  When a covenant ⁶  has been ratified, ⁷  even though it is only a human contract, no one can set it aside or add anything to it.

[3:5]  ¹ tn Or “shows clearly.”

[3:5]  ² tn Grk “That God is not unjust to inflict wrath, is he?”

[3:5]  ³ sn The same expression occurs in Gal 3:15, and similar phrases in Rom 6:19 and 1 Cor 9:8.

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[3:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “I speak according to man,” referring to the illustration that follows.

[3:15]  ⁶ tn The same Greek word, διαθήκη (diaqhkh), can mean either “covenant” or “will,” but in this context the former is preferred here because Paul is discussing in vv. 16-18 the Abrahamic covenant.

[3:15]  ⁷ tn Or “has been put into effect.”
