Bible verse
Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
Romans 3:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from Romans 3.
16 ruin and misery lie in their wake,
17 and the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
20 Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
22 And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
24 and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
KJV

ASV
because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.
ERV
because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.
