Romans 10:4

“For Christ is the end of the law, etc..] The apostle here observes that to them which had they known, would have regulated their zeal, removed their ignorance and set them right, in that which they stumbled at, and fell. By the “law” here, is not meant the ceremonial law, of which, indeed, they were all very zealous, and of which Christ also was the end in many respects; he was the final cause of it, or that for the sake of which it was; it had not been given had it not been for him; all its institutions, ordinances, and sacrifices, were on his account: they were all shadows of him, and he the body and substance of them; he was the end or mark and scope at which they all aimed; every type…”

“For Christ is the end--the object or aim. of the law for--justifying righteousness to every one that believeth--that is, contains within Himself all that the law demands for the justification of such as embrace Him, whether Jew or Gentile (Gal 3:24).”

And he alone gives that pardon and life which the law shows the want of, but cannot give. To every one - Whether Jew or gentile, treated of, Rom 10:11, &c. That believeth - Treated of, Rom 10:5. Romans 10:5”

“10:4 The function of the law was to point forward and prepare the way for the Messiah; Jesus’ coming does not destroy the law but fulfills all of its requirements, so that the primary requirement for God’s people is to believe in him (see 3:31; Matt 5:17-18).”

“Christ: Rom 3:25-31, Rom 8:3, Rom 8:4; Isa 53:11; Mat 3:15, Mat 5:17, Mat 5:18; Joh 1:17; Act 13:38, Act 13:39; Co1 1:30; Gal 3:24; Col 2:10, Col 2:17; Heb 9:7-14, Heb 10:8-12, Heb 10:14 the end: τελος \[Strong's G5056\], the object, scope, or final cause; the end proposed and intended. In this sense Eisner observes that τελος \[Strong's G5056\] is used by Arrian. Romans 10:5”
