Romans 10:4
Verse 4 of 21. The 10th of 16 chapters in Romans, in The Letters of Paul.
1Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

Matthew Henry on Romans 10:4
The subserviency of the law to the gospel (v. 4): Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. The design of the law was to lead people to Christ. The moral law was but for the searching of the wound, the ceremonial law for the shadowing forth of the remedy; but Christ is the end of both. See 2 Cor. iii. 7, and compare Gal. iii. 23, 24.
