Footnotes
καινόν (new) is kainos — new in kind and quality, not neos (new in time); the "one new humanity" is not two old categories merged but a genuinely novel order of being. The νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασιν ("law of commandments in decrees") most likely refers to the specific halakhic regulations that erected legal and social barriers between Jew and Gentile — not to Torah as a whole — since Paul elsewhere affirms Torah's covenantal validity; F.O.G renders "expressed in decrees" and F.O.G Message "contained in ordinances" to preserve this specific regulatory dimension.
