Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the law. "Works of the law" (Revised
Version). In the Greek, this reads, "Works of law". The statement is
general, and of course would include the law of Moses.
Shall no flesh be justified. Since all are found to be sinners,
law-breakers, none can be counted sinless; or, in other words,
justified.
For by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. Again the article "the"
is not found in the Greek before "law". Law, generally, when once
known, reveals to us that we are transgressors. The savage steals as a
legitimate pursuit, but when once he hears the law, "Thou shalt not
steal" (Exodus 20:15), his sin is revealed.
