NASB | Ephesians 2:15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:15 by abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the hostility caused by the Law with its commandments contained in ordinances [which He satisfied]; so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thereby establishing peace. |
Bible Question (short): Is the Law abolished or not? |
Question (full): Dear NASB forum, Jesus said in Matt 5:17: Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. Yet Paul writes in Eph 2:15: by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace. The verse in Matthew says that Christ didn't come to abolish the Law but the verse in Ephesians says that He did abolish the Law. How do we reconcile these two verses? Thanks. McGracer |
