Matthew Poole and continuators on Romans 10:4

4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness, to every one that believeth.

He proves▪ That the Iewes were ignorant of the Righteousness of God, because they were ignorant of Christ, the true end of the Law.

q. d. The Law was given for this end, that Sinners being thereby brought to the knowledge of their sins; and their Lost and damn'd Estate, by reason thereof, should fly to Christ, and his Righteousness for Refuge, vid. Gal. 3.19.24. Or else, Christ is the end of the Law, i. e. the Perfection and Consummation thereof. The Word is taken in this sence, 1 Tim. 1.5. He perfected the ceremonial Law, as being the substance whereof all the Ceremonies of the Law were shadows; they all referred to him as their scope and end. He perfected also the moral Law, partly by his Active Obedience, fulfilling all the righteousness thereof, partly by his Passive Obedience, bearing the Curse, and punishment of the Law, which was due to us. What ever the Laws required, that we should do or suffer, he hath perfected it on our behalf. vid. cap. 8.4.
