Galatians 3:12

is not of faith -does not spring out of, or start from faith", but its principle is performance. This is clearly laid down in Revelation 18:5, -He that doeth them &c.". We observe that -justification" and -life" are almost convertible terms. He who by faith is made one with the Son of God, hath life eternal life. Thus in Romans 5:18 St Paul argues that as by Adam's transgression all his descendants were involved in condemnation, so by the one righteous act, the obedience unto death, of the second Adam, the blessing came to all men unto justification of life a justification resulting in and constituting life.
