What does the apostle Paul mean: by the statement, “Under the Law”? Most Bible students, would assume, Paul is concerned about being, "Under the Law”, that Moses received, at Mount Horeb.
(Mt 5:17; 18; 19; 20; Jn 15:9-10; ) Paul carefully follows, Messiah Yeshua's example, of teaching obedience, to Yehwah's Covenant 10 Commandments.
(Ro 3:20; 4:15; 5:8-9; 10; 11; 12; 19; 20-21; 6:1-2; 7:7; ) Yehwah Elohe's Covenant Laws, existed from the time of Adam. Establishing, the basis, for Justly Judging, mankind's sinful lawlessness. So then, is Paul only referring to transgressions, of the Covenant Commandments? Placing a person, "Under the Law”, by identifying sin? The apostle Paul’s complex thought process, is a precise examination, of Covenant Law. Circumcision, the priestly service of mediation, and the sacrificial works, form the framework, to define what it means, to be, "Under the Law”.
(Ga 3:16; 17; 18; 19; 20; 21; 22; ) The symbolic sacrificial, "Works of the Law”, were instituted, 430 years, after Yehwah's original Covenant, with Abraham. Abraham Fatefully Obeyed, Yehwah's instructions. Including the Covenant Commandments, written by Yehwah Elohe, for Moses, at Mount Horeb. Abraham received the sign, of Circumcision. And also, demonstrated his Faithfulness. By offering Isaac, as a Sacrificial Work, of Obedience.
(Ge 18:19; 22:15-16; 17; 18; 26:4; 5; ) Abraham Obeyed the voice, of Yehwah. And received the Covenant Promise. In his "Seed”, all nations on earth, would be blessed.
(Ga 3:1-2; 3-4; 5-6; 7-8; 16; Psa 110:4; Heb 5:6; 10; 6:20; 7:1; 2; 3-4; 5; 6-7; 8-10; 11; 12-13; 14-15; 16-17; ) Scripture reveals, the Promise, of the Savior Messiah. And the return, of the priestly order, of Melchizedek. The apostle Paul proclaimed, the "Good News”, of Yehwah's Kingdom, Restoration. Reconciling, all of mankind, to the Heavenly Father, through Messiah Yeshua. Paul proclaim Salvation, from scriptural training, and spiritual revelation. Shining a light, into the prophetic mysteries. Hidden, from the Jewish teachers of the law. The Jews consider, themselves, to be Yehwah's Covenant, people. By the sign, of Circumcision, Temple worship, and Priestly sacrificial ordinances.
(Isa 29:13; Mk 7:5; 6-7; 8-9; Eph 2:8-10; 11; 12; 13-14; 15-16; 17-18; ) The Jews created, many man-made traditions. To declare, their righteousness. And often justified, their disobedience, to Yehwah's Covenant Commandments. Paul's correct presentation, of Yehwah's Covenant. Often, placed him in conflict, with the Jewish teachers, of the law. The Gentile converts, that received, the "Good News”. Also, struggled to understand, Paul's insight, into scriptural revelation. The Jews trusted, in the symbolic sign, of Circumcision. And their temple sacrificial works. To prove their righteousness. Justifying, their separation, from the Gentile world.
(Ro 2:13; 29; ) Paul taught, True Circumcision, is in the heart, of a believer. Being led, by Yehwah EL elyon, the Spirit of Holiness. And those, who Faithfully Obey, Yehwah's Covenant Commandments, will be Justified, and proven Righteous.
(Ro 3:20 NASB; Ro 3:28 NASB; Ga 2:16 NASB; Ga 3:2 NASB; Ga 3:5 NASB; Ga 3:10 NASB; Ga 4:4-5; 5:16-17; 18; 22-24; ) Paul warned! Do not misrepresent, the animal sacrifices, performed by the Levitical priest. Symbolic, "Works of the Law”, do not, Save, anyone. Paul emphasizes, the limited purpose, for Israel being placed, "Under the Law”. The symbolic “Sacrificial Works”, portray, a spiritual mystery. Paul's letters, admonish disciples, to follow Messiah Yeshua's example, of Faithful Obedience. Magnifying Love, from a Pure heart. Growing to maturity, and rewarded with, Eternal Life.
(Jn 15:4; 5; 8-9; 10; 17:1; 2-3; 4-5; 6-7; 8; 14:6-7; 9; 10; Mt 22:36-37; 38-40; Jn 8:34-36; 37-38; 39-40; 41; 42-43; 44; 45-46; 47; 6:44-45; ) Messiah Yeshua, said, apart from Him, we can do nothing. Yeshua, came to Free, all mankind, from Sin.
(Psa 25:4-5; 6-7; 8-9; 10-11; 12-14; Jn 16:2-3; 4-5; 6-7; 8-9; 10-12; 13; 14-15; ); John explains, the Gift, of the Spirit of Holiness. The Father, is Leading disciples, into all Truth. And convicting everyone, of Sin, Righteousness, and Judgement.
(Ro 2:4; 5-6; 7-8; 9-11; Acts 2:38; 3:17-18; 19; 20-21; 22-23; 24-25; 26; Heb 10:15; 16; 17; ) Yehwah's Mercy, is intended, to turn all mankind, away from sinful lawlessness. Guiding them, to live, Righteous Obedient, lives. By entering into Covenant, with EL elyon the Father’s Spirit.

Law and Justification
Romans 2:11–13 (NASB95) — 11 For there is no partiality with EL elyon the Father. 12 For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned "Under the Law" will be judged by the Law; 13 for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before EL elyon the Father, , but the doers of the Law will be Justified.
[(Ge 6:5-6; 7-8; 9; Ro 1:1-3; 4; 5; 32; 2:11-12; 5:12; 13; 14; 19; 20-21; 6:1-2; 16, 21; 23; 8:6, 13; Ga 6:7-8; ) All of mankind, have consciously sinned, against Yehwah's Laws. From the time, satan the deceiver, tempted,, Adam and Eve. The 10 Covenant Commandments, existing from the beginning. Were later, recorded in tablets of stone. Yehwah's Covenant Commandments, mainly consist, of laws, forbiding Evil, behavior. The Laws, stating, "Do Not Sin”. Cannot be described, as physical "Works of the Law”. Even the Sabbath Law, is a Command, to "Not Work”.
(Ro 7:7; 8-9; 10-11; 12; 13; 14; Deut 4:5; 6; 7-8; 9; 10; 11-12; 13; 14; ) Yehwah's Covenant with Israel. Hopefully anticipated, establishing a Holy, Righteous, Kingdom, with Just, Laws, preserving, life.
(Ex 20:18-19; 20-21; 22; Mt 23:23; ) The Israelites agreed, to obey. But, were frightened, of the voice, of Yehwah, thundering, from Mount Horeb. So, Yehwah, established Moses, and Aaron, as priestly mediators. Administering, Law, Justice, and Mercy.
(Ga 3:17; 19; 20; Heb 10:1; 2; 3-4; ) After the Israelites sinned, at Mount Horeb. They were placed, "Under the Law”, of "Sacrificial Works”. Performed, by the Levitical priests. The "Sacrificial Works of the Law”, became a continual reminder, of sin. “Symbolic Sacrificial Works”, could not cleanse, their guilty conscience.
(Heb 5:10; 6:20; 7:12-13; 14-15; 16-17; 26; 28; 9:1; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; ) The Israelites, were placed, "Under the Law”, of Levitical mediation. Until the time, of Reformation. Revealing, the Promised, Savior, and High Priest, Melchizedek. The Gentile world, had not, entered into Covenant, with Yehwah. The gentiles, were not, "Under the Law”, of priestly mediators. But, Yehwah's Just Death penalty, would come upon, both Israelite and Gentile. Because, of their sinful disobedience.
(Ro 2:13; ) Paul states, the Covenant Law, identifies sin. And only those, who are Obedient, will be "Justified”, and proven "Righteous”.
(1 Jn 1:9-10;3:1; 2; 3-5; 6-7; 8; ) The apostle John, reaffirms, Sin is lawlessness. And those, who do what is Right, are Righteous.
(Ro 2:25; 26; 27; 28; 29; ) Paul also states, the sign of Circumcision, is valuable, if a person, Obeys the Covenant Law. So then, Paul's statement, "Under the Law”, only referre, to the priestly ordinances, of "Sacrificial Works”, and "Circumcision in the Flesh”.
(Mt 5:17; 18; 19; 20; 19:16; 17; 18-19; 22:36-38; 39-40; ) Paul agrees with, Messiah Yeshua’s words. Obeying, Yehwah's Covenant Commandments, is necessary, to enter into Eternal Life.]

Under Mediation of Sacrificial Works
Romans 3:19–20 (NASB95) — 19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are "Under the Law", so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to EL elyon the Father; 20 because by the "Works of the Law" no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
[(Heb 10:1; 2; 3-4; Ga 3:17; 19; 20; ) Paul states, the Israelites were, "Under the Law”, of priestly mediation. And the Levites, were required to teach, Yehwah's Covenant Commandments. Maintaining Justice, and performing "Sacrificial Works of the Law”. To obtain Mercy, and Forgiveness of sin. The sacrificial, "Works of the Law”, did not, cleanse the guilty conscience, of worshipers. The daily sacrifices, became a continual reminder, of disobedience. Paul corrected, the Jews. Emphasizing, Yehwah's Covenant Laws, identify sin. And no one, can be Justified, by the sacrificial, "Works of the Law”.
(Ex 20:6; Psa 51:1-2; 3-4; 5-6; 7-9; 10-11; 12-13; 14-15; 16-17; Mk 12:29-30; 31-32; 33; ) Yehwah, desires, Faithfulness and Obedience. From, a Pure heart, of Love.]

Yehwah’s Merciful Reconciliation, and Righteousness
Romans 3:21–26 (NASB95) — 21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of Elohe has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of Elohe, through "Faith" in Messiah Yeshua for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of Elohe, 24 being "Justified" as a gift by His Mercy through the "Redemption" which is in Messiah Yeshua; 25 whom Yehwah Elohe, displayed publicly as a, "Atonement of Reconciliation" in His blood through “Faith". This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of Elohe He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be Just and the Justifier of the one who has “Faith" in Yeshua.
[(Lev 11:44-45; 18:4-5; 19:2-3; Ro 7:12; 1 Pe 1:14-15; 16-17; 18-19; 20-21; 22; 23; 25; ) Paul and Peter, proclaimed, the "Good News”, of Yehwah's Merciful Covenant Renewal. The Sacrificial Mystery, revealed in the Holy and Sinless Lamb, Messiah Yeshua. The Holy and unchanging Word, of Yehwah, says, "Be Holy, for I AM Holy”.
(Jer 31:30; 31; 32; 33; 34; Eze 18:19; 20; 21; 22; 23; 24; 25; 26; 27-28; 29; 30; 31-32; Heb 10:15; 16; 17; ) Paul explains, Yehwah, reveals His Holiness. By placing, His Covenant Laws, within the hearts, and minds, of worshipers. Yehwah, also reveals, His Righteousness, through Merciful Forgiveness. And Atoning Reconciliation. Blessing mankind, by turning people away from, sinful disobedience.
(1 Jn 1:9-10; Ro 2:13-14; 15; 16; 16:25; 26; 27; Acts 10:42-43; 17:30; 31; ) Yehwah EL elyon the Father, has established, His Perfect Sinless Son, as the Righteous Judge, and High Priest Melchizedek. The Messiah, Who Forgives sin, and cleanses people, from all unrighteousness. Yehwah EL elyon the Father, and Yehwah Elohe the Son, will Justify, the truly repentant. By turning them, away from, sinful lawlessness. Cleansing their hearts and minds. Producing, Faithful Obedience to the Covenant Law.
(Mt 5:17; 18; 19; 20; ) Many, Christian religious leaders, falsely teach. Their Jesus, abolished His Father's Covenant Laws. And Freely Justifies, sinners. Because, they believe, their Jesus, became their sins, paid their sin debt, and they, are no longer, required, to obey, Yehwah's Covenant 10 Commandments.]

Faithfulness, Obeys the Law
Romans 3:28–31 (NASB95) — 28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from "Works of the Law". 29 Or is Elohe the Elohe of Jews only? Is He not the Elohe of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed Elohe who will Justify the circumcised by Faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one. 31 Do we then nullify the Law through Faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
[(Ro 2:4; 5; 6-7; 8-9; 10; Mt 3:5-6; 7-8; 9; 10; 11; ) The apostle Paul, reaffirms, the symbolic sign of “Circumcision”, and sacrificial, "Works of the Law”, did not, “Justify” anyone. Symbolic sacrificial “Works”, did not Save, the Jews from Yehwah's Righteous condemnation, and wrathful Judgment.
(Ro 2:11; 12; 13; 26; 27; 28; 29; ) Circumcision, is of the heart, by the Spirit. And those, who Faithfully Obey, the Law, will be Justified, and proven Righteous. So then, Paul, is "Maintaining the Law”.
(Ro 1:1-3; 4; 5; 2:14; 15; 16; 8:3; 4; 5; 6; 7-8; 9; 12:1; 2; 16:25; 26; 2 Cor 7:9; 10; 11; ) Also, the term, "Justification”, represents a Lawful examination, of the heart. Repentant sinners, are being transformed, by Yehwah's Spirit. Producing Holiness, and Faithful Obedience.
(Ex 20:18; 19; 20; Deut 4:8; 9; 10; 11; 8:2; 3; 13:4; Psa 26:1; 2; 3; 4-6; 7-9; 10-11; 51:1-2; 3-4; 6; 10-11; 12-13; 139:1-2; 3-4; 14; 17-18; 23-24; Mal 3:16; 17; 18; 4:4; 1 Pe 4:17; 18-19; ) ]

Under the Law, of Sacrificial Works
Hebrews 10:1–4 (NASB95) — 1 For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins? 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year. 4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
[(Lev 16:2; 3; 5; 7-9; 15; 16; 18; 19; ) The Atonement, sacrificial, "Work of the Law”. Symbolically represented, Yehwah, requiring the priesthood, to present, a Sinless Sacrifice. Performing ritual Cleansing, and maintaining Holiness. So, Yehwah, may Tabernacle, in Covenant, with His people, Israel.
(Heb 9:6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; ) The sacrificial, "Works of the Law”, established a way, for Yehwah, to show Mercy. And Forgive sins, committed in ignorance. Sacrificial blood, was also used, to confirm, Yehwah's Covenant, agreement. The sacrificial symbolism, portrayed cleansing, the Israelites. Purifying them, from the physical consequences, of sin.
(Isa 1:1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 15; 16; 17; 18; 19; 20; Eze 20:11-12; 13; 24-25; 26; 22:26; Mal 1:6; 7; 8; 9; 10; 11; 12; 13; 14; 2:5; 6; 7; 8; 11; 3:16; 17; 18; 4:4-5; 6; ) The sacrifices, performed by the Levitical priesthood, became spiritually empty. The "Works of the Law”, did not, lead anyone, to True Repentance, or produce, Faithful Obedience.

Melchizedek ?
(Heb 7:11; 12-13; 14-15; 16-17; ) Now, if perfection was through, the Levitical priesthood? (for on the basis of (it = the levitical priesthood), the people received the Law). What further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is (Transferred to Melchizedek), of necessity there takes place a (Transference of the Mediation) of law also.
(Heb 7:18-20; 21-22; 23-24; 25-26; 27; 28; Amos 5:25; 26; Acts 7:41; 42; 43; 44; Jer 7:18; 44:17; 18; 19; Isa 47:8; 10; ) The Levitical priests, did not, honor, Yehwah Elohe's Holiness. And the "Sacrificial Works of the Law”, became a profane offering, to the Babylonian Star god, Anu&ki the Queen of Heaven. Israel desired, the Babylonian, pagan idolatry, of a counterfeit ”Substitution ScapeGoat” propitiation. Corrupting, Yehwah's requirement, for a Sacrifice of Holiness. Hidden behind the veil, of symbolism, is, the Sinless Lamb, of Atonement.

And transferred, to the Perfect High Priest, Melchizedek, Who remains Forever. Yehwah's Covenant 10 Commandments, have not, changed. Now, the Atonement, Ministry, of the Spirit, in Messiah Yeshua.

Abraham's Faithfulness, and Circumcision
Romans 4:1–12 (NASB95) — 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? 2 For if Abraham was "Justified by Works," he has something to boast about, but not before Eloheyem. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed Eloheyem, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who “Justifies” the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
(Psa 32: 1-2; 5; 8; 10-11; 51:1-2; 3-4; 5-6; 7-9; 10-11; 12-13; 14; 15-16; 17; ) 6 just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom Eloheyem credits Righteousness apart from "Sacrificial Works of the Law:" 7 Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, And whose sins have been covered. 8 “Blessed is the man whose sin Yehwah will not take into account.” 9 Is this blessing then on the circumcised, or on the uncircumcised also? For we say, “Faith was credited to Abraham as righteousness.” 10 How then was it credited? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised; 11 and he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while uncircumcised, so that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, that righteousness might be credited to them, 12 and the father of circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision, but who also follow in the steps of the Faith of our father Abraham which he had while uncircumcised.
[(Ge 12:3; 15:5-6; 7-8; 9; 13; 14; 18; Ga 3:8; 16; 17; ) Abraham, received the promise, his heir, would be a, "Seed of Blessing for all nations”. But, Abraham's sexual sin, with Hagar, only produced Ishmael, according to a fleshly desire. Abraham, would wait 13 years, before Yehwah, renewed the Covenant Promise, of a "Seed of Blessing”. The Covenant Renewal, added, the sign of "Circumcision”. Abraham, experienced, Yehwah’s Merciful Forgiveness. Allowing him to remain, in the Covenant Promise. Abraham, was not, required to perform, symbolic animal "Sacrificial Works”.
(Ge 18:18; 19; 22:16; 17; 18; 26:4; 5; ) Abraham, went through, " growing PAiNS “, to obtain spiritual maturity. Developing, Faithful Obedience, to Yehwah's Commandments, and Laws. Abraham’s heart, was led, by the Spirit of Holiness. Revealing, the "True Circumcision”, of the heart and mind.

Justification, by Faithful Obedience
James 2:21–24 (NASB95) — 21 Was not Abraham our father Justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that Faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, Faith was perfected; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed Elohe, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of Elohe. 24 You see that a man is Justified by works and not by Faith alone.
[(Ge 22:12; 15; 16-17; 18; Ga 3:8; 14; 16; ) Abraham's offering of Isaac. Became a sacrifice of Faithful Obedience. Yehwah Elohe, valued Abraham and Isaac. More then, all the animal sacrifices, required, as "Works of the Law”. Isaac, symbolically portrayed, the Sacrificial Lamb, and promised Seed. Isaac was Heir, to the Blessing of Abraham's Faithfulness.

Under the Law, of Symbolism vs Faithfulness
Romans 9:31–33 (NASB95) — 31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by Faith, but as though it were by (works, of the law). They stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a Rock of offense, And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”
[The Levitical priests, and Jewish teachers of the law. Believe, the sign of Circumcision, and animal sacrifices, established their Righteousness. And Justified, their continuation, in Yehwah's Covenant.

Ephesians 2:1–22 (NASB95) — 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4 But EL elyon the Father, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Messiah (by "Mercy" you are being saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Messiah Yeshua, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His "Mercy" in kindness toward us in Messiah Yeshua. 8 For by "Mercy" you are being saved through “Faith"; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of EL elyon the Father; 9 not as a result of the (Works of the Law) , so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which EL elyon the Father, prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. 11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Messiah Yeshua, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the "Covenants of Promise", having no hope and without EL elyon the Father, in the world. 13 But now in Messiah Yeshua you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah
[The sign of "Circumcision”, and the sacrificial "Works of the Law”. Separated Israel, from the Gentile world.

Messiah Yeshua, has replaced, the Levitical priesthood, and the "Symbolic Works”. By establishing, the acceptable Sacrifice. And Perfecting, the Way, of Faithful Obedience. Guided by, the Spirit of Holiness. Now, Yehwah's Spirit, is Freely offered, to every repentant, person. Leading them away from, sinful lawlessness.

Yeshua, has removed, the "Dividing Wall”, of priestly ordinances. Separating, the Gentiles, from full participation, in Israel's Temple worship, Sacrificial Works, and the True Circumcision, of the heart. Now, Yehwah Elohe’s Spirit of Holiness, identifies Yehwah's Covenant people.]

Ephesians 2:14-22; For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the "Dividing Wall", 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the "Law of commandments contained in (Priestly) Ordinances", so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace, 16 and might reconcile them both in one body to EL elyon the Father, through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of Eloheyem’s household, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Messiah Yeshua Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in Yehwah EL elyon the Father, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of the Most High Father, in the Spirit.

True circumcision is of the heart by the Spirit that produces an acceptable sacrifice of Faithful Obedience. The symbolic, "Works of the Law" of circumcision and animal sacrifice are magnified by worshipers becoming Faithfully Obedient. The law of Yehwah has not changed, but symbolism transitions into the required, "Works of Faithfulness" as worshipers become the Temple of Yehawah EL elyon, in Spirit.]

[Paul's use of the term: "Under the Law”. To the Jews, represents the symbolic signs, of "Circumcision" and the sacrificial, "Works of the Law”.
(Acts 15:1; 2; 19; 20; 21; 21:18-19; 20; 21; 22; 23; 24-25; 26; Paul reaffirms, he is Obedient, to Yehwah's Covenant Laws. And he also respects, the Levitical priests. As they continue, to follow the symbolic system, of sacrificial Temple worship. Paul understands, he is no longer, "Under the Law”, of symbolic animal sacrifices. Paul experienced, Spiritual Renewal. As the Covenant Laws, of Yehwah, were written within, his heart and mind. True Salvation, placed Paul, "Under the Law”, of Spiritual Sacrificial Holiness. Revealed through, the Sinless Lamb, Yehwah Elohe, the Messiah. The Savior, Yeshua, the Eternal mediator, and High Priest Melchizedek. Now, Salvation, may be offered, to all mankind. Originally only Israel was, "Under the Law”, of the Levitical mediation. Beginning, with Moses and Aaron, at mount Horeb.

Galatians 3:5–9 (NASB95) — 5 So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the "Works of the Law", or by hearing with faith? 6 Even so Abraham believed Elohe,, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7 Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of Faith who are sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that Elohe, would Justify the Gentiles by Faith, preached the "Good News" beforehand to Abraham, saying, “All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9 So then those who are of Faith are blessed with Abraham, the believer.
[(Ro 2:13; Jas 2:20; 26; 1 Jn 3:1; 2; 3-5; 6-7; 8; ) Paul, James, and John, all agree. A person, led by the Spirit of Holiness, will Obey, Yahweh's Righteous Covenant Laws. Replacing the required, "Sacrificial Works of the Law”. The Ritualistic Symbolism, failed to produce, the Righteous Obedience, Yehwah, desires.
(Mt 23:23; Acts 3:25; 26; 2 Cor 7:9; 10; 11; ) Also, Messiah Yeshua, became a "Blessing”, by turning everyone away from, sinful disobedience.]

The Levitical priests, were responsible to teach, the Israelites, Yehwah's Laws. And convict transgressors, of their sins. The guilty Israelite, must confess, their sin, committed in ignorance. Then, the priest would perform,, the sacrificial "Work of the Law". As mediators, to obtain Yehwah's Merciful Forgiveness. Restoring, repentant worshipers, to the Covenant Promise.]
Symbolic Works vs Justice and Obedience
Galatians 3:11–12 (NASB95) — 11 Now that no one is "Justified by the Works of the Law" before Elohe, is evident; for, “The righteous man shall live by Faith.” 12 However, the Law is not of Faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.”
[(Ex 20:6; Ro 2:13; Ro 3:20 NASB; Ro 3:28 NASB; 1 Jn 3:2; 3-5; 6-7; Jn 15:9-10; ) Paul states, "Justification”, comes through "Obeying”, Yehwah's Covenant Laws. Faithful Obedience, proves, a person, is Righteous.
( Ga 2:16 NASB; ) No one, is “Justified”, by the symbolic Sacrificial "Works of the Law”. Obviously, the Righteous person, is living by Faithfulness. The Righteous, must believe, Yehwah, exists, and Loves, the Faithful Obedient. Performing, the Covenant Law, of Yehwah. Paul maintains, that the Covenant Commandments, are just Laws, for people, to live by, every day.
(Ro 3:19 NASB; Ro 3:20 NASB; Ro 3:31; Mt 5:17; 18; 19; 20; ) Faithfulness, does not, disobey, annul, or change, any of Yehwah's Covenant Laws.]

Hatred of the Law vs Blessing in Loving Righteousness
Galatians 3:13–14 (NASB95) — 13 Messiah redeemed us from the "Hatred" of the Law, having become "Hated" for us—for it is written, “Hated" is everyone who hangs on a tree”— 14 in order that in Messiah Yeshua the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through Faith.
[(Ga 3:13; Ex 20:5; Eph 2:1; 2; 3; ) The word, "Curse”, should be translated, "Hated”. The human heart, is sick. And sin, is "Hatred”, of Yehwah's Laws. )
(Deut 21:22; 23; ) Paul is partially quoting: from Deuteronomy. By stating, "Hated”, is anyone, that is hung on a tree. But, a person, must be "Justly”, convicted of a sin, worthy of death, to be "Hated”, by Yehwah EL elyon, the Father.
(Jn 8:42-43; 44; 45-47; 10:30; 33-34; 35-36; 37-38; 15:18-19; 20; 21-22; 23-24; 25; Psa 34:18-20; 35:19; 69:7-9; 20-21; 109:3-5; ) Messiah Yeshua, said, He was "Hated”, without cause. And no one, could prove, Him guilty, of sin. Messiah Yeshua, said, the Jews, "Hated”, both, Him and His Father.
(Jn 7:19-21; 22; 23-24; Mt 12:5-6; 7-8; 23:1-3; 4-5; 6-7; 8-10; 11-12; 13; 23; 24-25; 26; 27; 28; Mk 7:6; 7-8; 9; Hos 6:6-7; ) The Pharisees and teachers of the law, claim, to sit in Moses' seat of authority. But, they did not, obey, Yehwah's Covenant Commandments. Anyone, believing in Yeshua. As the Promised, Savior. Was “Hated”, “UnJustly Judged”, and Condemned, as sinners. Messiah Yeshua, said, the Law, requires, Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness. Even the high priest, had become, an unjust Judge. Condemning, the innocent. The symbolic sacrificial system was intended to represent, Saving Mercy, and Forgiveness. Assisting the truly repentant and turning them, away from, sinful lawlessness.
(Ga 3:13; Acts 13:24; 25; 26; 27; 28-30; 31-32; 33; 34; 35-36; 37-38; 39-40; 41; ) The Promised, Messiah, came to "Redeem”, (the truly repentant). From the disobedient, who "Hated”, the Law. Yeshua, also, was "Hated”. Because, "Hated”, is anyone, hung on a tree. ]

Galatians 3:15–27 (NASB95) — 15 Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations: even though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. 16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And to your Seed,” that is, Messiah Yeshua.
[(Ge 12:1; 2; 3; 17:1-2; 3-4; 9; 11; 18:18; 19; 21:2; 3-4; 9-10; 11; 12; 22:16; 17; 18; 26:4; 5; ) Abraham obeyed, Yehwah's Covenant Commandments, Laws, and statutes. Becoming, an example, of Faithfulness. Then, 430 years later, the Israelites agreed, to Obey, Yehwah's Covenant 10 Commandments. Yehwah, instituted the Levitical priesthood, and sacrificial "Works of the Law”. Because, of Israel's sin, of worshiping a golden calf. Paul learned, Yehwah, had planned to "Redeem”, all of mankind. Revealing, the Promised, Savior, the Seed of Abraham. The sacrificial "Works of the Law”, became a schoolmaster, to teach, Yehwah's Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness. Sacrificial symbolism, was intended, to lead the Israelites, to repentance.
(Heb 5:7; 8-10; 7:1; 2; 3; 4; 11; 12-13; 14-15; 16-17; ) Messiah Yeshua, became the Eternal Mediator, Melchizedek. Yeshua, replaced, the temporary, Levitical priesthood.

Baptized, into Messiah's Sacrificial Obedience
Galatians 3:17 What I am saying is this: the (Law of Sacrificial Works), which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by Elohe,, so as to nullify the promise. 18 For if the inheritance is based on (Sacrificial Works of the Law), it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise. 19 Why the (Law of Sacrificial Works) then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through (Yehwah's chosen messengers) by the agency of a (Levitical) mediator, until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made. 20 Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas the Eloheyem Family, is only one. 21 Is the (Law of Sacrifices) then contrary to the promises of Elohe,? May it never be! For if a (Law of Sacrificial Works) had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on the (Works of the Law). 22 But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by Faith in Messiah Yeshua might be given to those who believe. 23 But before Faith came, we were kept in custody (Under the Law), being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24 Therefore the (Works of the Law) and (Levitical Priesthood) have become our tutor to lead us to Messiah, so that we may be Justified by Faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 26 For you are all sons of EL elyon the Father through Faith in Messiah Yeshua. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Messiah have clothed yourselves with Messiah.
[Paul explains, Israel was placed, "Under a Tutor”. Represented, by the Levitical priesthood, and Sacrificial, "Works of the Law”.
(Ga 3:21; Ro 7:10-11; 12; 13; 14-15; Mt 19:16; 17; 18-19; Lk 10:25-26; 27-28; Jn 12:49-50; ) The Sacrificial, "Works of the Law”, were incapable, of producing a life, of Holiness, without, perfecting, Spiritual Obedience. But, Paul understands, Obedience, to Yehwah's Covenant Commandments, are necessary, to receive Eternal Life. So then, the Sacrificial, "Works of the Law”, did not, produce true repentance, in the hearts, of the Israelites. Levitical mediation failed, to perfect, Faithful Obedience, to Yehwah's Covenant Commandments. The Israelites, were placed, "Under the Law”, of "Sacrificial Works”, until the Promised, Seed, of Abraham. Revealing, Messiah Yeshua, and Salvation, through the pouring out, of the Spirit of Holiness.
(Heb 10:15-16; 17; Ro 2:4; 5-6; 7-8; 9-10; 11-12; 13; Ro 3:28 NASB; Ro 3:31; ) The Spirit of Holiness, leads repentant sinners, into Faithful Obedience, to Yehwah's Covenant Laws. Producing, Justification. Paul is identifying, the inadequacies, of the symbolic Sacrificial, "Works of the Law”. Symbolism, cannot Save, or produce, Righteousness, and Holiness.
(Ro 6:1-2; 3; 4; 5; 6-7; 8-9; 10-12; 13; 14-15; 16; 17-18; 19; 20-21; 22-23; 12:1; 2; 1 Jn 3:1; 2; 3-5; 6-7; 8; Ga 2:16 NASB; Ga 2:17-18; 19-20; 21; ) The Sacrificial, "Works of the Law”, became a tutor. Pointing, to the Perfect Sinless Sacrificial Lamb, of Yehwah. Paul explains, truly repentant disciples, must follow, Messiah Yeshua's example. Making their lives, a Sacrifice, of Faithful Obedience. Disciples, are Baptized into Messiah Yeshua's death. As a symbolic commitment, to put to death, all sinful disobedience, to Yehwah's Covenant Laws. Disciples, are clothed with Messiah's Spirit of Holiness. Writing, Yehwah's Covenant Laws, in their hearts, and minds.
(Deut 8:1; 2; 3; Mt 4:3; 4; ) Faith, does not, abolish or annul, Yehwah's Covenant Laws. Faithfulness, lives by every Word, of Yehwah.]

And a sacrificial "Work of the Law”, to "Redeem”, the firstborn child. Messiah Yeshua, was Circumcised, on the eighth day. And His parents, offered required sacrifice, for redemption. Paul shows, being, "Under the Law”, does not, refer to anyone's personal sin, But, only explains, the required, "Works of the Law”, must be obediently performed.

Galatians 4:17–25 (NASB95) — 17 They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them. 18 But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you. 19 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Messiah is formed in you— 20 but I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. 21 Tell me, you who want to be "Under the Law", do you not listen to the "Law"? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman. 23 But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and the son by the free woman through the promise. 24 This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Horeb, bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar. 25 Now this Hagar is Mount Horeb, in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

Promoting, participation, in Yehwah's Covenant, requiring Circumcision in the flesh. The Pharisees and teachers of the Law. Rejected, the Promised, Messiah. And maintain, their reliance, on the "Sacrificial Works of the Law”. Trusting in symbolism, for righteous justification. The apostle Paul, was concerned, the Gentiles, were being misled. When, Jewish leaders, required, the Gentiles, be subjected, "Under the Law of symbolic Sacrificial Works”.
(Ro 1:1-3; 4; 5; 2:4; 5-6; 7-8; 9-10; 11-12; 13; 21-22; 23-24; 25; 26; Acts 2:22; 23; 24; 32; 33; 34; 35-36; 38; ) Paul proclaimed, the True "Good News”, of Yehwah's Kingdom Restoration. And Salvation, in Messiah Yeshua. Pouring out, of EL elyon the Father’s Spirit of Holiness.
(Ex 32:9; 33:3; Lev 26:41; Nu 27:14; Isa 63:10; Jer 6:10; 9:26; Acts 7:51; ) Many Jews, refused to repent, of their sins. Receiving the Gift of the Spirit, would Save, them. The empty, symbolic, "Sacrificial Works of the Law”, represented slavery. The unrepentant Jews, were enslaved, to the lawless disobedience, in their "UnCircumcised" hearts.
(Heb 4:1; 2; 3; 4-5; 6; 7; Deut 10:16; 30:2; 6; 8; 10; 11-12; 13-14; Acts 13:38-39; ]

A Circumcised Heart, is Love, for Yehwah's Laws
Galatians 5:1–5 (NASB95) — 1 It was for freedom that Messiah set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. 2 Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you trust in " Circumcision in the flesh", the Messiah will be of no benefit to you. 3 And I testify again to every man who receives only "Circumcision in the flesh", that he is under obligation to keep the whole (Works of the Law). 4 You have been severed from Messiah, you who are seeking to be justified by "Works of the Law"; you have fallen from Mercy. 5 For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of Righteousness.
[The apostle Paul, carefully explained, the symbolic, "Works of the Law”, did not, represent True Salvation. Symbolism, was intended to portray, Spiritual Truth. Revealing, the Promised Seed, Messiah Yeshua.
(Ro 2:25; 26; 27; 28; 29; Jn 4:23; 24; 6:45; Php 3:2; 3; ) The Gift of the Spirit of Holiness, is the True Circumcision, of the heart. Motivating, Sacrificial Obedience. As acceptable worship, of Yehwah Elohe. Circumcision in the flesh, is of value, if a person, Obeys the Covenant Laws, of Yehwah.
(Ro 2:13; ) Also, Paul reaffirms, only those, who Obey the Law, will be Justified, and proven Righteous.]
