You need to read for understanding!
Yeshua writes his laws on our hearts to bring about righteousness. If we are in adversity to his laws, we are not righteous. Read 1John until it sinks in.
.
That passage was addressing Israel.
>>If we are in adversity to his laws, we are not righteous.<<
The righteousness of true believers does not come from following laws.
>>Read 1John until it sinks in.<<
Do you ever sin?
1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
If you do and attribute your righteousness to following the law I would suggest you have no idea what 1 John is talking about.
