NRSV: 19Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to
those who are und er the law, so that ev ery mouth may be si lenced,
and the whole world may be held accounta ble to God. 20For „no
hum an being will be justified in his sight“ by deeds prescri bed by
the law, for through the law comes the knowled ge of sin. – TEV:
Now we know that ev eryt hing in the Law app lies to those who
live und er the Law, in order to stop all hum an excuses and bring
the whole world und er God’s judg ment. 20For no one is put right
in God’s sight by doing what the Law requires; what the Law

know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are und er
the law, so that ev ery mouth may be si lenced and the whole world
held accounta ble to God. 20Ther efore no one will be declared
righteous in his sight by observ ing the law; rather, through the
law we become consci ous of sin. – REB: Now all the words of the

whole world may be ex pos ed to God’s judgement. 20For no hum -

that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are und er the
Law, that ev ery mouth may be clos ed, and all the world may
become accounta ble to God; 20because by the works of the Law
no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes
the knowled ge of sin. – NCV: We know that the law’s comm ands
are for those who have the law. This stops all excuses and brings
the whole world und er God’s judg ment, 20because no one can be
made right with God by foll owing the law. The law only shows
us our sin. – NET: Now we know that whatever the law says, it
says to those who are und er the law, so that ev ery mouth may be
si lenced and the whole world may be held accounta ble to God.
