Thanks for this it was wonderful! I love the Passion translation (TPT) too because it is in plain English and it makes so many passages sound beautiful.

As for the death of the Law, I think Paul says it best in Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death. For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature. Yet God sent us his Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God’s Son gave his body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin. So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living his life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!”

Excellent! Thank you for translating all of these verses as I just can’t understand the old language or what exactly is meant.

Good to learn all of this happened.

Get the Bible app (You Version), it’s totally free, and find The Passion Translation (TPT) version of the Bible. It’s very easy to understand. The New International Version (NIV) is also very good. The word of God is so beautiful especially when you understand the meaning.

The King James Version (KJV) was written in a time when people spoke the same way. It served its purpose. Bible scholars have the old manuscripts and references to translate from so it’s not made up or wrong, just a simpler way of stating the texts written in Old English.

https://www.bible.com or the app in either iPhone or Android.

I prefer learning about it in this way more of a kind of story telling through Winston who is both passionate and knowledgeable about it and offers clear explanations along the way. It sticks with me in a way that just reading it for myself wouldn’t.
