Footnotes
ἔννομος Χριστοῦ (ennomos Christou) — literally 'in-lawed to Christ' — is a rare and theologically dense phrase. FOG renders it 'within the Torah of the Mashiach' to preserve the Hebraic resonance and evoke the Second Temple expectation of Messianic Torah-fulfilment (cf. Jeremiah 31:31–33; Isaiah 42:4). FOG Message uses 'under Christ's law' to make the relational submission clear. Both preserve the double negative at the heart of the verse: Sha'ul is not lawless toward God, but re-ordered covenantally around the Messiah.
