| King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 3 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. | 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. |
