The verb is attached to the clause with οὐ and the subject πᾶσα σὰρξ, in the sentence ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ.

It is governed by the sentence-level negation and the subject phrase, and the verse frames it as a future passive assertion about what will not happen.

The form carries the clause's main assertion: no flesh will be justified before him from works of law.

It does not by itself specify the grounds, the agent, or the full theology of justification beyond what the surrounding clause states.

High: The future passive indicative carries the main denial that no flesh will be justified by works of law.

Main verbal assertion. states what will not happen to the subject in the clause while leaving the agent implicit. Attached to the negated clause about every flesh. Governed by the subject phrase and sentence-level negation. The passive form matters for agency, but the grounds and contrast come from the surrounding words.

What action does the verb deny? It denies that any flesh will be justified before him from works of law, while the clause supplies the grounds and setting.

Direct: The future passive form directly affects the English rendering as will not be justified or a comparable passive expression.

The passive voice leaves the agent implicit here; do not name more agency than the verse names.

Passive voice names the agent by itself: Passive voice marks the subject as receiving the action, but the context must identify the agent or leave the agent implicit. future form supplies the full doctrine of justification: The future passive gives the clause its form, but the doctrine rests on Paul's whole argument, not on tense and voice alone.

The Textus Receptus reading at Romans 3:20 has δικαιωθήσεται in the clause οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σὰρξ.

The lemma δικαιόω means to justify or declare righteous, so the form keeps that legal or declarative sense in view.

The singular future passive indicative matches the clause's general statement about what will not occur to any flesh in God's presence, without making the form itself carry every doctrinal detail.

In this verse, the grammar supports Paul's claim that works of law do not provide the basis on which anyone is justified before God.

This fits Paul's larger argument in Romans that righteousness before God is not established by law observance but is received through God's saving action.

For communication, the form helps readers hear a broad, decisive denial rather than a narrow exception or a merely past event.

Do not derive from the tense or voice alone a full doctrine of justification, a named agent, or a claim that the form changes the word's lexical meaning.
