Moon, thanks for your response. It helps me think things through a little more clearly for myself. Here, however, I no longer claim to have any idea about what Neil would be saying, so I'll try this on my own. > Q1: You assume that the "us" in 3:13 refers to Jews. But if the "us" in > 3:13 and the "we" in 3:14 refer to the same, > it seems to me that that the "us" and "we" refer to the Galatians, > because > 3:14b seems parallel to 3:2: Yes, I do take the "us" in 3:13 to refer to Paul and the Jews. This because "Christ redeemed *us* from the curse of the law". Now, it seems to me that Christ could only have redeemed those who had been cursed by the law, the Jews. > 3:2: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with > faith? > 3:14b: that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. I can certainly see how that might be, but rather, I believe that, in Paul's understanding the redemption of the Jews (read: "receive the promise of the spirit through faith) comes by the eschatological "coming in" of the Gentiles, a sign of the end. 14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles (read "Galatians), so that we (read the Jews) might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. > Christ redeemed the Jews from the curse of the law -> the blessing of > Abraham > comes to the Gentiles -> the Jews receive the promise of the Spirit through > faith. I think you just said what I meant.... I'll chop off the other question, to save space. Looking forward to his response.
