For Moses writeth that {Leviticus 18:5}the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.
because {Greek: out of.}by {Or, works of law}the works of the law shall no flesh be {Or, accounted righteous}justified in his sight; for {Or, through law}through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

for they could not endure that which was enjoined, {Exodus 19:12 f.}If even a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned;
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
For Moses writeth that {Leviticus 18:5}the man that doeth the righteousness which is of the law shall live thereby.
And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
