Dead to the Law, alive to Christ

Here Paul is the most heretical of heretics; and his heresy is unheard-of, because he says that, having died to the Law, he lives to God.

The false apostles taught: "Unless you live to the Law, you do not live to God. That is, unless you live according to the Law, you are dead in the sight of God."

But Paul teaches the opposite: "Unless you are dead to the Law, you do not live to God."
