From what law did Paul set us free?

Translation from Greek: on the circumcision or also on the uncircumcision?
Brother, available "also on the uncircumcision"! God is the God of every human being and He treats Jews and Gentiles equally. This is how, when his people disobeyed, they lost in battle because they were no different from their disobedient enemy who won the battle by having greater numbers without his people having God treat them differently when they obeyed and not because they were Jews. To further understand the "blessing" (makarios) in regards to how you might receive this "blessing" (makarios) again after sinning, the following passage in Romans refers you to David's experience of having sinned by taking another man's wife.

When people work, their wages are not by grace, but something they have earned. But people's faith is credited as righteousness (noun), not due to work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners. David also spoke of this when he described the blessing (makarios) of those who are credited with righteousness (noun) without having worked for it: “Oh, what blessing (makarios) for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes, what blessing (makarios) for those whose record the LORD has cleared of sin.” Now, is this blessing (makarios) only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles? Well, we have been saying that Abraham, having believed, was credited as righteousness (noun). But how did this happen? Was his faith credited as righteousness (noun) only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised! (Romans 4:4-10 NLT fixed)​

United in our hope for the soon return of Jesus, Jorge
