Paul treats justice arising from the Law and from faith in Rom 10. In 10:6–8, he allows justice from faith to quote Deuteronomy as evidence from the Scriptures. First of all, it refers to Deut 8:17 or 9:4, two acute texts on the theology of justification in the Old Testament. These texts prepare an understanding of the three quotations which Paul extracts from Deut 30:12–14 explaining each in a Christological manner. If read in the context of the entire chapter 30, particularly in the perspective of the circumcision of Israel’s heart by God in 30:6, they document that justification through faith corresponds to the witness of the Old Testament.
