enslaved to God, you have the fruit which leads to your sanctification, whose final result (τε'λος)
is eternal life.” And in 13:7 it has the technical sense of “toll”: “Pay to all their dues...the toll
(τε'λος) to whom the toll (τε'λος) is due.” See J. P. Heil, Paul’s Letter to the Romans: A Reader-
Response Commentary (New York: Paulist, 1987) 72, 143.

Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1996) 641-42.
5 Romans 10:4 is a limited statement in a different sense according to T. R. Schreiner,
Romans (BECNT 6; Grand Rapids: Baker, 1998) 547-48. He understands ει�ς in 10:4 not as a
preposition of result or purpose, as we and others understand it, but “as an adverbial preposition
of general reference” in which ει�ς δικαιοσυ' νην means “with reference to righteousness” for those
who believe (p. 547). Consequently, he states that “Christ is not the end of using the law for
righteousness for all people” (p. 548), but only for those who believe. For Schreiner the
statement is limited in the sense that it applies only to those who believe. For us the statement is
limited in the sense that it applies to the Law only as a means of attaining righteousness by doing
its works. Hence, in contrast to Schreiner we maintain that according to Paul Christ is the end of
using the Law for righteousness for all people, because righteousness is now available not to
those who futilely try to do the works of the Law but to anyone who believes in what God has
done in the Christ event.

scripture known as “the Prophets;” cf. Matt 13:35.

8 After discussing but dismissing all the other possibilities for the genitive construction,
“Law of righteousness” (νο' µον δικαιοσυ' νης) in 9:31, Moo (Romans, 622-25) convincingly
argues for the meaning of “Law whose object is righteousness.” See also Schreiner, Romans,
537; Martin, Christ and the Law, 135-38.
9 That righteousness rather than the Law is the ultimate object of Israel’s pursuit in 9:31 is
