but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.

但以色列人追求律法的义，反得不着律法的义。

但以色列人追求律法的义，反而达不到律法的义。

但以色列人追求律法的义，反而达不到律法的义。

以色列人靠遵行律法追求义，却徒劳无功。

但以色列人追求律法的义（“律法的义”原文作“义的律法”），却达不到律法的要求。

而以色列人追求律法的义，却没有达到律法的义。

但以色列人追求律法的義，反得不着律法的義。

但以色列人追求律法的義，反而達不到律法的義。

但以色列人追求律法的義，反而達不到律法的義。

以色列人靠遵行律法追求義，卻徒勞無功。

但以色列人追求律法的義（“律法的義”原文作“義的律法”），卻達不到律法的要求。

而以色列追求着稱義的律法，反而達不到律法。

而以色列人追求律法的義，卻沒有達到律法的義。

惟以色列人趨義之律而不及、

以色列民、以法求稱義而不得、何歟、

惟以色列人尋稱義之法、而不得其法、

義塞人求義於律法之中、而終未之得也。

but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal.

The people of Israel tried to obey the law to make themselves right with God. But they didn’t reach their goal of being right with God.

but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law.

But the people of Israel, who tried so hard to get right with God by keeping the law, never succeeded.

But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not achieved the righteousness of the law.

however, Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.

but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

But Israel, pursuing the law for righteousness, has not achieved the righteousness of the law.

But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

but Israel even though pursuing a law of righteousness did not attain it.

but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.

What then? That which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all.For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.

as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith;

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law.

For if they that are of the law are heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect:for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.

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