You shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
All Commentaries on Leviticus 18:5 Go To Leviticus 18
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
The righteousness of the law, of which it is said that if a man does it he shall live in it, is set forth to this end: that every man may recognize his own infirmity. It is not in his own strength or through the letter of the law (which cannot be) but only by receiving through faith the favor of the Justifier that he may attain and do and live in righteousness.
