This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But now: q.d. Though justification be not by the law, yet it is to be obtained in another way, as follows.
The righteousness of God: see Rom_1:17.
Without the law; inasmuch as the law, pressing obedience to be performed by us in our own persons, seems plainly ignorant of the righteousness of another imputed to us.
Is manifested; this righteousness nevertheless is revealed plainly, now since the coming of Christ, and in the gospel, as in Rom_1:17.
Being witnessed by the law and the prophets; that there may be no suspicion of novelty: see Joh_5:46,47. The testimonies be refers to are very numerous: see Gen_3:15 15:6 22:17,18 Isa 53 Jer 31:31,33 Da 9:24,25. See the same argument used, Act_24:14 26:22 28:23.
