Thanks for clarifying that for me; perhaps, I need to learn how to read!
Context is indeed everything isn't it!?

In response to Billy and Loren on the teachers are Galatia:

I do not think these guys are as sinister as you two seem to. They
are not hiding the fact that the whole Law follows, they just have not
thought about the matter in this frame of reference. I think so differently
about them because I am not convinced that they are a part of an
anti-Pauline movement that has connections to the disaffected from the
Jerusalem Conference. I think it rather likely that this is a home-grown
problem that Paul analyzes by comparing it to the problems he faced earlier
in Jerusalem and elsewhere. You may not that Paul never says what the
others claim you gain by keeping the Law. PAUL says there are things you
lose, but we do not hear what one might gain. We must speculate and we
usually do that by attaching them to the Law observant and insistent at the
Jerusalem Conference. I think that is a mistake. When we do that we are
mirror-reading Paul's own aggressive argumentation.

I have argued this at length (though perhaps no more persuasively)
elsewhere.
