romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

romans 9:31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.

31. But Israel, which followed--"following"
after the law of righteousness, hath not attained--"attained not"
unto the law of righteousness--The word "law" is used here, we think, in the same sense as in Ro 7:23, to denote "a principle of action"; that is, "Israel, though sincerely and steadily aiming at acceptance with God, nevertheless missed it."

romans 9:31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.
