The Law in Galatians 3:19

950. (M. F.) Gal. 3:19.—The law of Gal. 3:19 is the moral law of the Ten Commandments. The purpose of the law to the sinner is to point out sin; and God added, or spoke, the law—made it plain, that sin might be seen to be sinful. See the parallel text in Rom. 3:20: “Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound.” The only law that points out sin is God’s moral law (Rom. 7:7)—the law that shuts us up to only one way of escape, namely, Jesus Christ (Rom. 7:25; Gal. 3:21–24).
