Again,

one of things i like about that is it starts out with em him saying that the your translation said, i think office of the lawtap translation says, the function of the law is retained and taught by the new testament. And he's em playing off the, you know, that sort of the oppositional word to usis or use of the law there, with officium in coming in with function, or office. And actually, both of em, both translations i like a lot. I really like office. M, because it sort of has this illusion of the god him is the one that has called the law to do something very specific. Ad, without any illusion that you're stepping in and changing his plan for it. Also, right off the bat, luther's answering sort of the question that the reformers, lutheran rformers, could just, they just could not get rid of this antinomian controversy. M, and luther addresses it here without,

it's like stepping in something on the lawe, unless

he have some tall grass to scrape that. Soeenand atelex for a while. Am, and so he answers it without really having to say, ok, now i'm going to address this problem. He just comes out and says, m, the law, the function of the lawis retained on top of the new testament. So would

you stop already? Athen o says, the office of the law is what it means to begin true repentance. So what the law produces. Here we go back to the last affliction of the heart, suffering, pain and death. Those are the beginnings of repentance. Repentance begins with the law. It is that where it ends?
