16 Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

16 既然知道人称义不是靠行律法, 而是因信耶稣基督, 我们也就信了基督耶稣, 使我们因信基督称义, 不是靠行律法; 因为没有人能靠行律法称义。
