Wesley's Notes for Romans 8:4

8:4 That the righteousness of the law - The holiness it required, described, #Rom 8:11|. Might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit - Who are guided in all our thoughts, words, and actions, not by corrupt nature, but by the Spirit of God. From this place St. Paul describes primarily the state of believers, and that of unbelievers only to illustrate this.
