For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. |
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. |
For not knowing about God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God. |
|
Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. |
For being ignorant of the righteousness that God ascribes [which makes one acceptable to Him in word, thought, and deed] and seeking to establish a righteousness (a means of salvation) of their own, they did not obey or submit themselves to God’s righteousness. |
For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God and seeking to set up their own private righteousness, to the righteousness of God they have not subjected themselves. |
|
They do not know God’s righteousness, and all the time they are trying to prove their own righteousness they have the wrong attitude to receive His. |
For they were ignorant of God’s way of right standing and were trying to set up one of their own, and so would not surrender to God’s way of right standing. |
