Where in that verse does it say that faith institutes, makes. or brings the law?
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law. 29Is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, 30since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith. 31Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
What does verse 28 say? How do the other verses above relate to verse 31?
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
From where in the verses above do you get that Christ came to "bring into actuality the law", or "carry out the law", or "measure up to the law"?
the verse says establish which means to make firm, institute permanantly, or to bring to existence.
In the other verse it says fulfill which means to bring into actuality, carry out, or measure up to.
Lets look at what 27-31 says: Ro 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Ro 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Ro 3:29 [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Ro 3:30 Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Ro 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
in v27 it say by what law. This shows there is more than one law, than it say works? what is the law of works (deeds of the law, works of the law) this is called the Oral law. So, do they disagree with each other? not at all.
