“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Therefore no one will be declared righteous before God by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. The conclusion: the law cannot justify (dikaioo) any human being. Its function is not to save but to expose—to make human beings aware of their sin. The law is a mirror revealing the corruption it cannot cure. This establishes that righteousness must come from elsewhere.
