You who boast in the law This phrase addresses those who take pride in their knowledge and possession of the Mosaic Law. The Greek word for "boast" is "καυχάομαι" (kauchaomai), which implies a sense of pride or glorying in something. Historically, the Jewish people were given the Law as a covenant with God, setting them apart as His chosen people. However, Paul challenges the notion that mere possession or knowledge of the Law is sufficient for righteousness. The Law was meant to guide and instruct, not to be a source of pride. In a conservative Christian perspective, this serves as a reminder that our relationship with God should be based on humility and obedience, not on self-righteousness or legalism. do you dishonor God by breaking the law Parallel Commentaries ...
