SCRIPTURE

"For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth." — Romans 10:4 (ASV)

The end of the law.—“End,” in the proper sense of termination or conclusion. Christ is that which brings the functions of the Law to an end by superseding it. “The Law pursues a man until he takes refuge in Christ; then it says, You have found your asylum; I will trouble you no more, now you are wise; now you are safe.” (Bengel.)

For righteousness to every one that believeth.—So that every one who believes may obtain righteousness.
