1. Deny that the law operates as law (ie rules)
2. Replace the law with the new life
3. Ressaign law as either wisdom or prophecy.
Below is a diagram that Brian Rosner gave that shows Paul in action. Enjoy!
| Text | Repudiation | Replacement | Reassign As wisdom | Reassign As prophecy |
| 6:15 | believers are “not under the law” | “but under grace” | | |
| 8:1-4 | “you have been set free from the law of sin and death” | “by the law of the Spirit” | | “in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us” |
| 4:1-3 | | | Gen. 15:6 quoted, “Abraham believed God …,” to argue that Abraham was justified by faith, in connection with the promise in Gen. 12:1-3, which is now being fulfilled in Christ | |
| 5:12-21 | | | Adam as a type of Christ clarifies Christ’s achievement | |
| 12:19 | | | | Deut. 32:35 quoted, “Vengeance is mine …,” to support the call for non-retaliation |
