The man who does the righteousness of the law will live by this righteousness
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)
