For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

Επειδη μη γνωριζοντες την δικαιοσυνην του Θεου, και ζητουντες να συστησωσι την ιδιαν αυτων δικαιοσυνην, δεν υπεταχθησαν εις την δικαιοσυνην του Θεου.

For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
