By way of reminder we have been looking at "our calling out from among them" of 2Corinthians 6:11-7:4 and how it ties to Revelation 18:4-8 of 17-18. I would like now to return to our original base of 2Corinthians 6:11-7:4 by looking at the word "law" and "Law" for a moment or two. I did a brief scan of my Strong's Concordance of this ward law and found the following alpha number references used for the Hebrew text (here I will use the AHLB for the Hebrew):
H1881 in Deuteronomy 33:2, to walk in agreement;
H1882 in Ezra 7:12, a law or edict, a decree;
H2524 in Genesis 38:13, speaks of the father in law;
H2545 in Ruth 1:14, speak of the mother in law;
H2706 in Genesis 47:26, speaks of coming together by custom;
H2710 in Proverbs 31:5, to appoint a custom as in together;
H2859 in Genesis 19:21, speaks of marriage of two joined together by custom;
H2860 in 1Samuel 18:21, related by marriage, bridegroom, husband;
H2994 in Ruth 1:15, sister in law;
H3618 in Genesis 11:31,the one added to man to make him complete, wife;
H4687 in Jeremiah 32:11, law by command, ordinance, precept;
H4941 in Leviticus 24:22, judgment, manner, right, cause, ordinance, lawful, order, worthy, fashion, custom, discretion, law, measure, sentence;
H8451 in Exodus 12:49,Teaching: The direction one is to take in life;
Now for the Greek text (for the Greek I will use the Thayer's Greek):
G60 in Acts 19:38, gathering, as in a market place;
G458 in 1John 3:4, condition without law;
G459 in 1Corinthians 9:21, destitute of Mosaic Law;
G460 in Romans 2:12, to sin in ignorance of the Mosaic Law;
G1772 in 1Corinthians 9:21, bound by law, a relationship of rest;
G2917 in 1Corinthians 6:7, judgment by judaciation, in the manor of a Jew;
G2919 in 1Corithinas 6:1, to separate;
G3544 in Titus 3:9, an interpreter and teacher of the Mosaic law;
G3547 in Luke 5:17, a teacher and interpreter of the law: among the Jews; of those who among Christians went about as champions and interpreters of the Mosaic law;
G3548 in Romans 9:4, law giver, legislator;
G3549 in Hebrews 7:11, to enact laws, laws are enacted or prescribed for one, to be legislated for, furnished with laws;
G3551 in Matthew 5:17, anything established, anything received by usage, a custom, a law, a command, any law whatsoever, of the Christian: the law demanding faith, the moral instruction given by Christ, especially the precept concerning life and love;
G3565 in Matthew 10:35, from a primary but obsolete verb nupto (to veil as a bride, compare Latin “nupto,” to marry);
G3891 in Acts 23:3, to act contrary to the law, to break the law;
G3994 in Matthew 10:35, mother-in-law, a wife’s mother;
G3995 in John 18:13, father-in-law, a wife’s father;
There now I have gotten that off my chest. Though in a weak fashion because no where did we see the "law of life" used, defined or linked with common use. So here are but a few of such passages,as they are few; Ruth 4:15 of 13-17; (KJV) Proverbs 6:23 of 20-35, 13:14 of 9-20; Romans 8:2 of 1-8; Hebrew 7:16 of 11-22.
Law of Life,
Proverbs (ESV) 6:23 of 20-35 "My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck. When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you. For the commandment is a lamp (H6215) and the teaching (H8451) a light (H216), and the reproofs of discipline are the way (H1870) of life (H2416), to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes; for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life. Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched? So is he who goes into his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished. People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry, but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house. He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself. He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away. For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge. He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts."
Romans 8:2 of 1-8 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law (G3551) of sin and death. For GOD has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, HE condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law (G3551) might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to GOD, for it does not submit to GOD's law (Will or Word); indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please GOD."
