Christians uphold (Greek = ἵστημι; RSV, NRSV) the law; they do NOT submit to the law.
NOT TRUE! God gave commandments to man to serve as a disciplinarian (Do this, don’t do that—or else!).
Gal. 3:24. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith.
25. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian,
26. for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. (NRSV)
However, in Christ we have no need for a disciplinarian.
Rom. 8:2 For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed you from the law of sin and death. (NAB)
Your Version of the Bible is wrong, The KJV is more correct, it states:
(New Testament | Galatians 3:24 - 29)
24 Wherefore the law was our
schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The commandments were there to TEACH us to LOVE one another. the commandments are LOVE, but sadly some people only see them as punishment. God is LOVE and we can know God by keeping the commandments of LOVE. A person can NOT know God unless they keep the commandments:
(New Testament | 1 John 2:4 - 5)
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the
love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
As an example to us, Jesus Christ kept the commandments. We are to walk as He walked:
(New Testament | 1 John 2:6)
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.[/QUOTE]
Jesus never said so much as one word to a Christian. In the gospels, He spoke, with only one exception (Matt. 15:21-28 ), exclusively to unregenerate Jews.
The first Christians were Jews, so Christ was speaking to Christians:
"Antioch played an important role in the history of Christianity. Here for the first time, in the days of the Apostles, the members of the new faith were called "Christians" (Messianists).
The first Christians were, of course, Jews, but already in the days of Paul, pagans also joined their ranks. Barnabas visited Antioch, where he dwelt together with Paul. When the apostle Peter came to Antioch he ate with the pagans, but when messengers arrived from James, the brother of Jesus, who was a Nazarene, Peter felt ashamed and withdrew from the pagan society, Barnabas following suit. According to a tradition of the church fathers, Peter headed the Christian church of Antioch for seven years.
Antioch became a center of Christian learning and the Antiochian school of theology, which flourished in the third and fourth centuries C.E., was particularly renowned. Unlike the school of Caesarea, which interpreted the Bible allegorically and in accordance with speculative philosophy, the Antiochian school expounded the Scriptures in conformity with their historical and literal meaning. The biblical commentaries composed by this school in the fourth and fifth centuries C.E. are of great importance. In Antioch, various means were used to counteract the great influence which the Jews had upon the local Christians. The synod of Antioch (341) forbade the Christians to celebrate Easter when the Jews were observing Passover, and John Chrysostom of Antioch, in his six sermons (c. 366–387), vituperatively denounced those Christians in Antioch who attended synagogues and resorted to the Jewish law courts.
When Christianity became the state religion, the position of the Jews of Antioch deteriorated. The Jews of Imnestar were accused of having crucified a Christian boy on the feast of Purim, and the Antiochian Christians destroyed the synagogue (423 C.E.). When the emperor Theodosius II restored it, he was rebuked by Simon Stylites and refrained from defending the Jews. In the brawls between the sport factions known as the "blues" and the "greens," many Jews were killed."

That is true. As I have written in a post above, the chapter headings in the original KJV were written by the translators of the KJV and included in that version as a part of that version. As I have also written in a post above, the LDS Church has fraudulently and maliciously changed the chapter headings.
Any schoolboy who is honest with himself and who desires in is heart to know the truth can easily see for himself that that the quality of writing in the JST is that of a man with a very limited education and deficient writing skills. Any Christian adult who is familiar the major pseudo-Christian cults knows who that man is, and that he was a fraud, a liar, and a deceiver, and that the spiritual powers behind him were and are the rulers, the authorities, the cosmic powers of this present darkness, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). The goal of these spiritual forces of evil has been and currently is to replace the word of God with the words of a man—words that cannot save us from sin but rather further entrap us.
The actual goal of the Book of Mormon is to teach people to believe in Jesus Christ and keep the commandments:
(Book of Mormon | Moroni 7:3 - 19)
3 Wherefore, I would speak unto you that are of the church, that are the peaceable followers of Christ, and that have obtained a sufficient hope by which ye can enter into the rest of the Lord, from this time henceforth until ye shall rest with him in heaven.
4 And now my brethren, I judge these things of you because of your peaceable walk with the children of men.
5 For I remember the word of God which saith by their works ye shall know them; for if their works be good, then they are good also.
6 For behold, God hath said a man being evil cannot do that which is good; for if he offereth a gift, or prayeth unto God, except he shall do it with real intent it profiteth him nothing.
7 For behold, it is not counted unto him for righteousness.
8 For behold, if a man being evil giveth a gift, he doeth it grudgingly; wherefore it is counted unto him the same as if he had retained the gift; wherefore he is counted evil before God.
9 And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man, if he shall pray and not with real intent of heart; yea, and it profiteth him nothing, for God receiveth none such.
10 Wherefore, a man being evil cannot do that which is good; neither will he give a good gift.
11 For behold, a bitter fountain cannot bring forth good water; neither can a good fountain bring forth bitter water; wherefore, a man being a servant of the devil cannot follow Christ; and if he follow Christ he cannot be a servant of the devil.
12 Wherefore, all things which are good cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth to sin, and to do that which is evil continually.
13 But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.
14 Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.
15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
16 For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God.
17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.
18 And now, my brethren, seeing that ye know the light by which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not judge wrongfully; for with that same judgment which ye judge ye shall also be judged.
19 Wherefore, I beseech of you, brethren, that ye should search diligently in the light of Christ that ye may know good from evil; and if ye will lay hold upon every good thing, and condemn it not, ye certainly will be a child of Christ.
