typo: 8:4 should be 8:2. "Chad R. Bresson" <breusswane@...> wrote:The primary contrast is not 8:4 but 7:4 which immediately follows your marriage to the law. All that follows 7:4 is speaking of 7:4. Chad H Dorrington wrote: Romans 8:2 seems to me to make it clear that he is NOT talking about the same reality but rather contrasting two positions: Slaves of sin 7:14 with slaves of righteousness 6:18. Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now..." While he shows what was with what now is. Hopefully being married to a different husband 7:2-3 is not the same reality! So also there is a different reality in being in Christ than being under the law. Harry --- "Chad R. Bresson" wrote: > H Dorrington wrote: > >He doesn't!
