Have attained to righteousness — Or justification. Even the righteousness which is by faith. This is the first conclusion we may draw from the preceding observations. The second is, that Israel — The Jews Although following after the law of righteousness — That law which, duly used, would have led them to faith, and thereby to righteousness. Have not attained to the law of righteousness — To that righteousness or justification which is one great end of the law
