This verse is often misinterpreted as teaching that the law is completely abolished for Christians, promoting lawlessness or antinomianism where moral standards are irrelevant, whereas Paul affirms the law's goodness and its role in revealing sin while emphasizing faith in Christ as the means to true righteousness. Another error is assuming it only applies to Jews, nullifying the law for them alone, ignoring its broader context of salvation by faith for all people.
Romans 10:4
King James Version (1769)
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 10:4 declares that Christ is the fulfillment and goal of the law for righteousness, meaning that through faith in Him, believers attain right standing with God apart from attempting to earn it by perfect obedience to the Mosaic Law. The law pointed forward to Christ as its ultimate aim, and now everyone who believes receives righteousness as a gift, liberating them from the law's condemnation and empowering holy living through the Spirit.
