...and applied, not to sin, but to the law itself ( see Gal 4:22–31 ). vv. 4–6 ratchet up by several notches Paul's already negative treatment of the law. The law is no longer just an inadequate solution to the problem of sin; the law itself is the problem. Has not Paul come to the point of equating the law, God's law, with sin? He answers, ‘By no means!’ ( v. 7 ). It is not really the law's fault; sin is to blame. (That sin could be a responsible ‘party’ evidences a decided shift in terminology.) The argument of v. 7 is familiar: the law makes known,...

...with a disadvantage of poverty. Wealth provides protection and security against the vicissitudes of life ( cf. 18:11 ), whereas the poor have no resources to fall back on. For this the poor may sometimes have only themselves to blame ( v. 4 ). But not all wealth is advantageous. How it is acquired is the test of whether it is an asset or a liability ( v. 2 ). The instruction in 1:8–19 illustrates the liability of ill-gotten gain (cf. also 20:17; 21:6; 28:20 ). By contrast, the wealth that accrues through ‘righteousness’, i.e. honesty and integrity, is a...

...human inability to fully understand the past ( 29:25–8 ) or the future ( 30:1–10 ). It may also refer to a concealed background of the Torah which would be irrelevant to obedience ( 30:11–14 ), or an interpretation in the light of Ps 19:12 (MT 19:13 ), which speaks of ‘secret faults’, might also be a possibility. NJPS reads: ‘Concealed acts concern the Lord our God; but with overt acts, it is for us and our children ever to apply all the provisions of this Teaching.’ ( 30:1–10 ) Hope for Future Restoration From the image of the land devastated by a curse,...

...liability In broad terms, ‘occupiers’ liability' refers to the law governing the civil liability of an occupier in respect of the physical state of his property, or other activities that he carries on or permits to take place there. More specifically (and for the purpose of what follows) it means the area of civil law governing the liability of an occupier of premises for injury or damage suffered by those who enter them. The basis of occupiers' liability in this sense is fault: the occupier is liable in tort (or in Scotland, delict) if the damage or...
