Origen, on Rom 3:31

Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Rom 3:31 · Douay-Rheims
“Do we, then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid: but we establish the law.”
On this verse:
“Whoever does not believe in Christ, of whom Moses wrote in the law, destroys the law. But whoever believes in Christ, of whom Moses wrote, confirms the law through faith, because he believes in Christ.The Lord himself said: "I have not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it." None of the saints nor even the Lord himself has destroyed the law. Rather its glory, which is temporal and transient, has been destroyed and replaced by a glory which is eternal and permanent.”
