You side this a minute after I did, but with more words. Bravo!
The issue of Christ's imputed righteousness is based upon Adam's imputed sin.
Also, Paul spoke as though it was granted that no one can serve God sinlessly aside from the cross when Paul wrote this:
Galatians 3:10-11 KJV For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
If one is cursed due to not fulfilling all the works of the law, then one might say, "Oh well, too bad for those who cannot fulfill it." But Paul said
every one under law is automatically cursed. IOW, no one can possibly live sinlessly by knowing what to do in order to be sinless. All under law are cursed - period. Why? No one can keep it. This assumes no one can.
