I will, but I first must know how you got the Greek fonts on your post and how you got the "notes to self" links. I have been thinking of doing something similar for Ephesians. I just have no idea how to do it. A how-to post maybe in the future? I haven’t read the post yet.

That's kind of what I was going for with my questions in the second bullet point there. It's nice to see someone else is thinking along the same lines. It's still confusing though. And I'm still not sure how this passage might play out in the OPP/NPP debate. We shall see. I'm reading Dunn's commentary on Galatians right now.<br /><br />Also, I'm glad that the Greek was readable on your platform. Good confirmation. Thanks, Matt.

Instead, I think that it could be argued that being led by the Spirit is a sign that one is not under the Law, i.e., its jurisdiction (18). I think this is highlighted by the fact that against the fruit of the Spirit there is no Law (23). Thus, the works of the flesh are a sign that one is still subject to the Law's jurisdiction. This is not to say that following the Law leads naturally to the works of the flesh, but that the works of the flesh are a sign that the Law still holds one under its juridical sway. A slight but important distinction.
