David Johnson's List: ChristiansAndLaw

    •  9There will be (R)tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew (S)first and also of the Greek,

       10but (T)glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew (U)first and also to the Greek.

       11For (V)there is no partiality with God.

       12For all who have sinned (W)without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

       13for it is (X)not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

       14For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do (Y)instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves,

       15in that they show (Z)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

       16on the day when, (AA)according to my gospel, (AB)God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

    •  17"Do not think that I came to abolish the (V)Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

       18"For truly I say to you, (W)until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

       19"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least (X)in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

    •  18(X)A ruler questioned Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

       19And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

       20"You know the commandments, '(Y)DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"

       21And he said, "All these things I have kept from my youth."

       22When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; (Z)sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have (AA)treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

    • Eph_2:15-16
      having abolished in His flesh the enmity – the Torah of the commands in dogma – so as to create in Himself one renewed man from the two, thus making peace, (16) and to completely restore to favour both of them unto Elohim in one body through the stake, having destroyed the enmity by it.


      Enmity
      1. The quality of being an enemy; the opposite of friendship

      G2189
      ἔχθρα
      echthra
      ekh'-thrah
      Feminine of G2190; hostility; by implication a reason for opposition: - enmity, hatred.

      Dogma
      DOGMA, n. [Gr., to think; L.] A settled opinion; a principle, maxim or tenet; a doctrinal notion, particularly in matters of faith and philosophy; as the dogmas of the church; the dogmas of Plato.
    • We can clearly see from the Greek and the context of this chapter is about destroying the dogma (religious teachings or interpretations of man and his opinion) regarding the enmity that was between the Israelites and the Gentiles. The Pharisees taught that the Gentiles are not to come into the faith and Paul taught that the barrier has been destroyed and this Gentiles are no longer seen as enemies and can come into the Faith. This was the main goal of all Paul's arguments and this was the hidden mystery Rom_11:25, Eph_1:9 , Eph_3:3 that YHVH revealed to Him to preach. His aim was to preach to the Gentiles, that they are co-heirs of the Kingdom.
    •  19(AE)You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."

       20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you (AF)stand by your faith (AG)Do not be conceited, but fear;

       21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.

       22Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's (AH)kindness, (AI)if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also (AJ)will be cut off.

       23And they also, (AK)if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

       24For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

       25For (AL)I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this (AM)mystery--so that you will not be (AN)wise in your own estimation--that a partial (AO)hardening has happened to Israel until the (AP)fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

    Summary of the laws and commandments

    •  3For (D)rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

       4for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an (E)avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

       5Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also (F)for conscience' sake.

    •  8Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for (J)he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

       9For this, "(K)YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, "(L)YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."
