Rom. 3:25‑31• 25whom God set forth as a propitiatory through faith in his blood, for a declaration of his righteousness on account of the praeter-mission of the sins that had been before, in the forbearance of God,
 26with a view to the declaration of his righteousness in the present time, in order to his being just and justifying him that [is] of faith in Jesus.
 27Where then [is] boasting? It was excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through [the] law of faith.
 28We reckon then that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law.
 29Is he, pray, the God of Jews only? [Is he] not also of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles also;
 30since God [is] one who shall justify [the] circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith?
 31Do we then make void law through faith? Let it not be: nay, we establish law. (Rom. 3:25‑31)

 8the Holy Spirit showing this that the way of the holies hath not yet been manifested, while yet the first tabernacle hath a standing:

• There {in Christ} was found the righteousness of God, there the stumblingstone to Israel. (“Romans 10” by J.N. Darby)
• The article "the" is not in the text before "law." This indicates that he is not referring to the Law of Moses specifically, but to the principle of man's performance being a way in which one attains to righteousness. (“The Responsibility of Man Israel's Present Rejection: Romans 10” by B. Anstey)
• Every attempt of man in the flesh attaining to righteousness on the basis of human merit and performance has failed. God has, therefore, brought the testing to a close, and has "condemned sin in the flesh" in the death of Christ (Rom. 6:6; 8:3). The word "end" here is "teles" in the Greek, which means "completion." (“The Responsibility of Man Israel's Present Rejection: Romans 10” by B. Anstey)
• By adding "to everyone that believeth," Paul is indicating that the only way in which one can be reckoned righteous is through believing. (“The Responsibility of Man Israel's Present Rejection: Romans 10” by B. Anstey)
