Note 15 at Gal. 3:10: Paul is bringing out a very important point which those who preach performance conveniently fail to mention. Deuteronomy 27:26 says, "Cursed be he that confirmeth not ALL the words of this law to do them." Those who trust in the law must keep every word of the law perfectly or they come under the curse (Dt. 28:15-68) instead of the blessing (Dt. 28:1-14). Since all have sinned (Rom. 3:23), no one can ever attain to the blessing of the law through his own effort. We must put faith in the grace of God and receive the blessing as a gift (Rom. 6:23).
