For Moses wrote [Lev. 18:5] about a person being made right with God by obeying the requirements of the Law of Moses, that he would gain [never ending] life for doing this.
Now the Law of Moses is not based on one’s faith, for [Lev. 18:5 says], “The person who obeys the requirements of the Law of Moses will obtain life by doing so.”
and to be found in [fellowship with] Him, not having a righteousness of my own, acquired by observing the Law of Moses, but one acquired through believing in Christ. This righteousness, which comes from God, is based on faith.
