ousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.’ Why would God magnify something you no longer needed?
The reader wants to be able to explain “ousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us.’ Why would God magnify something you no longer needed?” from the Torah or prophetic passage Paul invokes, its original legal/covenantal function, and the exact logical step Romans adds without relying on denominational authority or counter-missionary slogans.
What this article established
The locked subject for this record is visibly truncated, but its archive source and control fields are clear: Deuteronomy 6:25 explicitly calls careful commandment-observance “righteousness for us,” while Romans 3:21 speaks of a righteousness of God “apart from law.” The texts use righteousness in different argumentative settings; Paul cannot erase Torah’s positive covenant category by assertion.
- Verified: Deuteronomy 6:25 explicitly uses “righteousness” for Israel's careful observance of God's commandment.
- Verified: Romans 3:21 speaks of a righteousness of God “apart from law” and broadly claims the Law and Prophets as witnesses without naming a direct quotation in that verse.
- Possible: Paul can use “righteousness” in a different theological sense from Deuteronomy 6:25.
- Disputed: whether Paul's larger synthesis of law and justification correctly represents the Torah and Prophets.
- Unsupported by the controlling Torah text: the claim that Torah itself teaches obedient covenant righteousness was merely useless, impossible or no longer needed.
