(BBE)
For no one will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, because the knowledge of sin comes through the law. (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
Therefore by the deeds of the law, no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (21st Century King James Version)
It follows that no human being will be treated as righteous in his presence by doing what the Law says, because the knowledge of sin comes through the Law. (Common English Bible)
Not one person can have God’s approval by any effort to follow the laws in the Scriptures. These laws show what sin is. (GOD’S WORD Translation)
God doesn’t accept people simply because they obey the Law. No, indeed! All the Law does is to point out our sin. (Contemporary English Version)
For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. (New Living Translation)
For no person will be justified (made righteous, acquitted, and judged acceptable) in His sight by observing the works prescribed by the Law. For [the real function of] the Law is to make men recognize and be conscious of sin [not mere perception, but an acquaintance with sin which works toward repentance, faith, and holy character]. (Amplified Bible)
9-20 So where does that put us? Do we Jews get a better break than the others? Not really. Basically, all of us, whether insiders or outsiders, start out in identical conditions, which is to say that we all start out as sinners. Scripture leaves no doubt about it: There’s nobody living right, not even one, nobody who knows the score, nobody alert for God. They’ve all taken the wrong turn; they’ve all wandered down blind alleys. No one’s living right; I can’t find a single one. Their throats are gaping graves, their tongues slick as mudslides. Every word they speak is tinged with poison. They open their mouths and pollute the air. They race for the honor of sinner-of-the-year, litter the land with heartbreak and ruin, Don’t know the first thing about living with others. They never give God the time of day. This makes it clear, doesn’t it, that whatever is written in these Scriptures is not what God says about others but to us to whom these Scriptures were addressed in the first place! And it’s clear enough, isn’t it, that we’re sinners, every one of us, in the same sinking boat with everybody else? 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. (The Message)
So it can’t be said that anyone will be made right with God by obeying the law. Not at all! The law makes us more aware of our sin. (New International Reader's Version)
(Wycliffe New Testament)
