Oct 13, 2010 · That the “righteousness of God” refers to a divine gift is clear from Philippians 3:9, where Paul speaks of “the righteousness from God” (tēn ek theou dikaiosynēn).

Here I’m focusing on Romans 9:30, “That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith.”. And, 9:33b, “And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”. When you look at 9:31-32, it ...
