From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 20. Moreover. But. What is said in this verse and the following seems designed to meet the Jew, who might pretend that the law of Moses was intended to meet the evils of sin introduced by Adam, and therefore that the scheme defended by the apostle was unnecessary. He therefore shows them that the effect of the law of Moses was to increase rather than to diminish the sins which had been introduced into the world. And if such was the fact, it could not be pleaded that it was adapted to overcome the acknowledged evils of the apostasy. The law. The Mosaic laws and institutions. The word seems to be used here to denote all the laws which were given in the Old Testament. Entered.
