In an important line, Paul is frequently understood to be referring to at least two laws, the law of Moses, which the apostle is no longer "under," and a law of Christ, which he is still "under" (1 Cor. 9:21). Jewish parallels and the Greek words Paul uses suggest, however, that it is Paul's commission to preach the gospel that can override some Mosaic laws when they hinder his mission. Paul appears to be a transgressor of Moses' law but he insists he is conducting himself lawfully with respect to Moses because of Christ who commissioned him. Dr. Paul Sloan is Associate Professor of Early Christianity at Houston Christian University. He has published Jesus and the Law of Moses: The Gospels and the Restoration of Israel within First-Century Judaism.
