For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes.

Verse 3 Read Chapter 10 Verse 5

Clement Of Alexandria

AD 215

And they did not believe the law as prophesying, but the bare word; and they followed through fear, not through disposition and faith. "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness". For so he, who was after the law, Moses, foretold that it was necessary to hear in order that we might, according to the apostle, receive Christ, the fulness of the law.

"Suffer it to be so now for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness: "I am the Fulfiller of the law; I seek to leave nothing wanting to its whole fulfilment, that so after me Paul may exclaim, "Christ is the fulfilling of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."

John Chrysostom

AD 407

There is only one righteousness, which finds its fulfillment in Christ…. Even someone who has failed to keep the law properly will be righteous if he has Christ … but the man who does not have Christ is a stranger to the law as well.
