Law

CRITICAL: established Arabic Bible tradition (Van Dyck) deliberately uses the Greek loanword الناموس for the Mosaic Law rather than الشريعة, because ‘shari’a’ today overwhelmingly denotes the total Islamic religious-legal-political system. Using shari’a here would make Paul’s law-versus-grace argument sound like an attack on Islamic law specifically - a category error with serious real-world consequences. Never substitute.
