Text:  Romans 3:19-22  Now we know that what things so ever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

THE SAVED LIVE BY THE NOUN FAITH

Galatians 3:11-12  But that no man is justified by the law (alone) in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just (those obedient to the moral law) shall live by faith. 12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

“IN ADDITION TO” SUPPORT

See Arndt & Gingrich’s Greek English Lexicon Page 899.

e. besides, “in addition to“ (PTebt. 67, 16; POxy. 724, 6; Lev 9:17; Num 17:24; Ep. Arist 165; Jos., Ant. 7,350) cwriv twn parektov 2 Cor 11:28 (s. parektov). M-M.

 

M-M represents a work by Moulton & Milligan, Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament; Page 696 under (b) translates 5565 as “in addition to” from other contemporary writers. Notice that there are Old Testament References. This is from the LXX which is the Septuagint. We have the LXX so let us check for ourselves.

 

United Bible Society Greek New Testament Dictionary: #6357 allows it to be translated “in addition to”.
