Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
All Commentaries on Romans 3:31 Go To Romans 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul’s use of the word uphold shows that the law was failing…. The purpose of the law was to make man righteous, but it had no power to do that. But when faith came it achieved what the law could not do, for once a man believes he is immediately justified. Faith therefore established what the law intended and brought to fulfillment what its provisions aimed for. Consequently faith has not abolished the law but perfected it.
