3:10 Paul here quotes Deut 27:26, which summarized the curse that Israel would experience if they failed to keep all the stipulations of God’s covenant (see Deut 27:9-26; cp. Deut 28:15-68; 31:26; Josh 1:8; Mal 2:2; see also Gen 3:14-19; 4:10-12). It is impossible for sinful human beings to obey God’s will completely (see Rom 3:9-20).
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 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
νόμου
˱of˲_law
See how you translated the phrase the law in 2:16.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
γέγραπται & γεγραμμένοις
˱it˲_/has_been/_written & /having_been/_written
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν
under /a/_curse are
Here, under a curse represents being cursed by God and refers to being condemned by God and therefore being doomed to eternal punishment. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “are cursed by God”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ὑπὸ κατάραν εἰσίν
under /a/_curse are
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of curse, you could express the same idea with a verb such as “curse,” or you could express the meaning in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God will curse”
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. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Paul is referring to Scripture. Alternate translation: “it is written in the Scriptures”
Note 8 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

˱of˲_the law
See how you translated the phrase the Law in 2:16. Alternate translation: “of God’s Laws”
