⁵ You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, which if a man does, he shall live by them: I am the Lord.

¹¹ But that no one is ^[a]justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for ^(A)“the just shall live by faith.” ¹² Yet ^(B)the law is not of faith, but ^(C)“the man who does them shall live by them.”

²⁶ He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”

²⁷ So he answered and said, ^(A)“ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ^(B)‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

²⁸ And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and ^(C)you will live.”

⁵ For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, ^(A)“The man who does those things shall live by them.”
