1 | Christ has not brought an end to the Law | Rom 10:4 | Magnum | 30262 | ||
At Romans 10:4 the KJ version we get the translation typical of most versions: "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth." But Greek telos, which usually gives us the English word "theology," usually means "goal,purpose, consumation," not "end or termination." The Messiah did not bring the "Law" or more proper the Torah "Teaching and instruction of G*d" to an end. Rather renders it, "the goal at which the Law aims is the Messiah, who offers righteousness to everyone who trusts." However Paul's point throughout the passage, and throughout Romans, is that for Jews and Gentiles alike there has never been more than one route to righteousness, namley, trusting G*d; so that the Law is built on trusting G*d from beginning to end has always required faith. | ||||||
2 | Christ has not brought an end to the Law | Rom 10:4 | Makarios | 30391 | ||
Greetings Magnum! I would agree with your assessment of Romans 10:4, which coincides with what Jesus stated in Matthew 5:17-18... "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I didn't come to destroy them, but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not one letter or one stroke of a letter will disappear from the Law until everything has been accomplished." [International Standard Version] - Nolan |
