Here "the law" refers to the law of Moses. Alternate translation: "it is not those who only hear the law of Moses" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# who are righteous before God
|
|
|
|
"whom God considers righteous"
|
|
|
|
# but it is the doers of the law
|
|
|
|
"but it is those who obey the law of Moses"
|
|
|
