Rom.3.20

Our involvement with God's revelation doesn't put us right with God. What it does is force us to face our complicity in everyone else's sin.

Rom.3.20

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

Rom.3.20

Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Rom.3.20

For no one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what his law commands. For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it.
