惟以色列人尋稱義之法、而不得其法、

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。

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、

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

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.

是則何也、以色列人所求者未得、惟蒙選者得之、其餘則剛愎其心矣、

守全律法而犯一誡、即犯諸誡、蓋言勿淫者、亦言勿殺、則爾雖不淫而殺人、亦為犯全律法、

我復言之、凡受割禮者、當守全律法、爾欲恃律法稱義者、棄基督絕於恩矣、

以律法言、則為法利賽人、以熱心言、則窘逐教會、以守律法之義言、則無過可責、

我為彼作證、彼熱中事天主、但不由知識也、蓋彼不識天主之義、而欲立己之義、故未服天主之義、有基督、律法乃終、使凡信者得稱義、

凡恃行律法之功者、皆服詛、蓋經載云、凡不恆遵律法書所載而盡行之者、服詛也、無人恃律法、在天主前得稱義明矣、蓋經云、義人由信得生、

是則何言、異邦人不尋義而得義、即由信之義、惟以色列人尋稱義之法、而不得其法、此何故、曰、因非由信而求、乃由行而求、蓋蹶於此蹶人之石上、

然則律法與天主之許相反乎、非也、若賜以能致生之律法、則人必由律法可得稱義、

若屬律法者為嗣子、則信歸於虛、所許亦廢矣、蓋律法致刑、無律法則無過犯、

爾曹從善者、尋求主者、宜聽我言、當追思爾所從鑿之磐、所從掘之石、

故無人由遵行律法、得稱義於天主前、蓋由律法可知罪耳、○
