Before pointing us away to Calvary, Paul would have us take one last look at Sinai and consider afresh (1) the problem inherent in acquiring righteousness by the law. “For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them” (10:5). The quotation is from Leviticus 18:5 and points out that in order to be saved by the law a person must live according to all the precepts of the law without violating
Romans 10:5–9
