Chap. 10. Vers. 3, 4.
For they (the Jews who had a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge) being ignorant of Gods Righteousness, and going about to establish their own Righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the Righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness unto every one that believeth.

What is here determined, the Apostle enters upon the Proposition and declaration of, Chap. 9. vers. 30. And because what he had to propose was somewhat strange, and unsuited unto the common apprehensions of men, he introduceth it with that prefatory Interrogation, [Greek or Hebrew]; which he useth on the like occasions, Chap. 3.5. Chap. 6.1. Chap. 7.7. Chap. 9.14. What shall we then say? that is, is there in this matter unrighteousness with God? as vers. 14. or what shall we say unto these things, or this is that which is to be said herein? That which hereon he asserts is, that the Gentiles which followed not after Righteousness have attained unto Righteousness, even the Righteousness which is of Faith; But Israel which followed after the Law of Righteousness hath not attained unto the Law of Righteousness, that is, unto Righteousness it self before God.
