Romans 9:31

but Israel even though pursuing ¹  a law of righteousness ²  did not attain it. ³ 

Ro 3:20; Ro 4:14,15; Ro 9:30-32; Ro 10:2-4; Ro 11:7; Ga 3:10,11; Ga 3:21; Ga 5:3,4; Php 3:6; Jas 2:10,11

¹ tn Or “who pursued.” The participle could be taken adverbially or adjectivally.

² tn Or “a legal righteousness,” that is, a righteousness based on law. This translation would treat the genitive δικαιοσύνης (dikaiosunh") as an attributed genitive (see ExSyn 89-91).

³ tn Grk “has not attained unto the law.”
