# the righteousness that comes from the law
|
|
|
|
Paul speaks of "righteousness" as if it were alive and able to move. Alternate translation: "how the law makes a person right before God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-personification]])

# "The man who does these things will live by them."
|

|
|
In order to be made right with God through the law, a person would have to keep the law perfectly, which is not possible. Alternate translation: "The person who perfectly obeys the law will live because the law will make him right before God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
