“For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.”
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: 'The person who does these things will live by them.' — The citation of Leviticus 18:5 illustrates law-righteousness: ποιέω (poieō, "do") the ἐντολή (entolē, "commandments") and ζῆν (zēn, "live"). The law offers life as reward for perfect observance. Yet perfection is impossible (as Romans 7 established); law-righteousness leads to death.
