(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. |
(for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; |
for it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the Law who will be justified. |
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. |
For it is not those who merely hear the Law [as it is read aloud] who are just or righteous before God, but it is those who [actually] obey the Law who will be justified [pronounced free of the guilt of sin and declared acceptable to Him]. |
For not those who are instructed in the law are righteous in the presence of God but those who are doers of the law shall be justified. |
It is not familiarity with the Law that justifies a man in the sight of God, but obedience to it. |
For merely hearing the law read does not make men upright with God, but men who practice the law will be recognized as upright. |
(For 1063 not 3756 the 3588 hearers 202 of the 3588 law 3551 are just 1342 before 3844 God, 2316 but 235 the 3588 doers 4163 of the 3588 law 3551 shall be justified. 1344 |
