For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Christ is the end (the object or aim) of the law for (justifying) righteousness to everyone that believeth - i:e., contains within Himself all that the law demands for the justification of such as embrace Him, whether Jew or Gentile (Galatians 3:24); bestowing that righteousness and life which the law holds forth but cannot give. 'The law (says Bengel, naively) hounds a man until he betake himself to Christ; then it says to him, Thou hast found an asylum, I pursue thee no more; thou art wise, thou art safe.'
