20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

20 because no one can be made right with God by following the law. The law only shows us our sin.

20 because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

20 Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law is knowledge of sin.

20 Not one person can have God’s approval by any effort to follow the laws in the Scriptures. These laws show what sin is. 

20 For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.

20 For “no human being will be justified in his sight” by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

20 For by the works of the law no person will be declared righteous before him, for through the law comes knowledge of sin.

20 So it can’t be said that anyone will be made right with God by obeying the law. Not at all! The law makes us more aware of our sin.

20 because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
