1599 Geneva Bible: “Renounce your own Righteousness"

Romans 10:2-3 For I bear them record that they have the zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. (i)For (ii)they, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and going about to (iii)establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves to
the righteousness of God.

i. The first entrance unto salvation, is to renounce our own righteousness: the next is, to embrace that righteousness by faith, which God has freely offered to us in the Gospel.
ii. The ignorance of the Law which we should know, excuses none before God, especially it doesn't excuse them that are of His household.
iii. Ignorance has always pride joined with it.
