<p>3:11 <i>Now it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God For, The righteous shall live by faith</i>- The thought is very similar to that in Romans. Rom. 2:13 uses the same phrase <i>para Theos</i> to reason that the <i>doers</i> of the law are justified before God; and nobody does the entire law. But here (as in Rom. 1:17) Paul uses a related but slightly different argument. He says that we are not justified by deeds &quot;before God&quot; because of the very existence of the concept of justification <i>by faith</i>; and he quotes Hab. 2:4 as an exemplification of this.</p>
