- Therein (Romans 1:17) = Gospel = Righteousness of God is revealed by faith. Just = Righteous

But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: {21} That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord." G1343

G1343

- Paul's desire was for Israel's salvation. Israel has a zeal for God, but not according to God's method. It is not enough to have zeal! Israel is not submitted to God's righteousness which is the end of the law for believer. Many people, today, have as the basis for salvation their flesh, zeal, works, & law! This is not according to God's way of righteousness. Anyone not submitted to or ignorant of the righteousness of God for salvation is not saved! Jesus has completed the perfect work for the Christian's salvation, maintaining their salvation, growth, etc.
