For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth, [ poieesas (G4160 )] those things (which the law enjoins) shall live by them - (Leviticus 18:5; etc.) Lachmann and Tregelles have en (G1722) autee (G846) - 'shall live in (or 'by') it,' meaning, 'the righteousness of the law,'-for which there are 'Aleph (') A B, three cursives, two copies of the Old Latin (one a late corrector only), the Vulgate (in ea), Gothic, and later versions. But this is insufficient evidence; and Tischendorf (with the best critics) prefers the Received Text. This is the one way of justification and life which the law recognizes, the only "righteousness which is of (or by our own obedience to) the law."
