갈라디아서 2장 16절

  그러나 사람이, 율법을 행하는 행위로 의롭게 되는 것이 아니라, 예수 그리스도를 믿는 믿음으로 의롭게 되는 것임을 알고, 우리도 그리스도 예수를 믿은 것입니다. 그것은, 우리가 율법을 행하는 행위로가 아니라, 그리스도를 믿는 믿음으로 의롭다고 하심을 받고자 했던 것입니다. 율법을 행하는 행위로는, 아무도 의롭게 될 수 없기 때문입니다._새번역성경

人の 義とされるのは 律法の 行いによるのではなく、ただ キリスト · イエス を 信じる 信仰によることを 認めて、わたしたちも キリスト · イエス を 信じたのである。それは、律法の 行いによるのではなく、キリスト を 信じる 信仰によって 義とされるためである。なぜなら、 律法の 行いによっては、だれひとり 義とされることがないからである。_口語訳

nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified. _NASB

We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it—and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good._The Message
