Law
Refers to the Mosaic law given through the Taurat (Torah). NEVER use Syariah, which in Malaysia names an actual, currently operating parallel court system for Muslims, not merely an abstract theological category; conflating the two would import a specific, legally loaded contemporary institution into Paul’s argument.
