Romans 9:31
_ _ But Israel, which followed — “following”
_ _ after the law of righteousness, hath not attained — “attained not”
_ _ unto the law of righteousness — The word “law” is used here, we think, in the same sense as in Romans 7:23, to denote “a principle of action”; that is, “Israel, though sincerely and steadily aiming at acceptance with God, nevertheless missed it.” |
Romans 9:31
(28) But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
(28) The pride of men is the reason that they reject their calling, so that the cause of their damnation need not to be sought for in any other place but themselves. |
- followed:
Romans 9:30-32 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. ... Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Romans 10:2-4 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. ... For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Galatians 3:21 [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
Philippians 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

Romans 4:14-15 For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: ... Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.
Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
