24 Grk “who does these things”; the referent (the works of the law, see 3:5) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
25 A quotation from Lev 18:5. The phrase the works of the law is an editorial expansion on the Greek text (see previous note); it has been left as normal typeface to indicate it is not part of the OT text.
