OET interlinear GAL 3:10

uW Translation Notes:

ὅσοι γὰρ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν

as_many_as for of /the/_works ˱of˲_law are

Alternate translation: “All people who follow the law” or “All those who seek to be justified through obeying the law”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅσοι & ἐξ ἔργων νόμου εἰσὶν

as_many_as & of /the/_works ˱of˲_law are

Here, the phrase as many as are of works of the law is probably a shortened way of saying “as many as are relying on works of the law as the basis for God considering them to be righteous.” Here, the phrase as many as are of works of the law is describing people who rely on the works of the law and is in contrast to the phrase “the ones by faith” in 3:7. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “as many as rely on the works of the law as the basis for being righteous before God” or “as many as are relying on works of the law as the basis for God considering them to be righteous” or “as many as are trusting that God will consider them righteous because they try to obey the law of Moses” or “as many as are seeking for God to consider them righteous on the basis of following what the Mosaic Law commands”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἐξ ἔργων νόμου

of /the/_works ˱of˲_law

With the phrase of works, Paul is using the possessive form to describe the means by which a person seeks to please God, and by using the phrase of the law, Paul is using the possessive form to define the type of works to which he is referring to. If this is not clear in your language, you could clarify the relationship for your readers. Alternate translation: “trying to earn God’s approval by doing the works prescribed in the law”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Here, Paul uses the phrase it is written to indicate that what follows is a quotation from the Old Testament. Paul assumes that his readers will understand this.
