Bible Question: What does this verse say about the destiny of those who attempt to be justified on the basis of keeping the law? |
Bible Answer: Actually, it doesn't say anything about "those who attempt to be justified on the basis of keeping the law." The antecedent of "these" are the people mentioned in the previous verse: "them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ." We cannot say from the text how these people sought to justify themselves. Now, this does not preclude the possibility that this group contains people who seek to justify themselves by the law, but we cannot state this emphatically. If I may be so bold, I suggest that you use books such as Romans (in particular chapter 3) and Galatians to scripturally establish your stated premise. |
