The point is SEEKING TO BE JUSTIFIED BY THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. And by the way "deeds of the law" isn't referring to obeying God's commandments, but was and is a well documented rabbinical idiom for adherence to sectarian halacha or "traditions of the elders", as it is well documented not only in talmudic lusage but in Qumran documents.
