Biblical Law Ephesians June 15

 Biblical Law

Peak of Ephesians chiastic mountain: doxology. (Bullinger)
OK, it's 3:20-21 he says. 
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. 

Well do the Meyers' 5, with '2000 years' subbing for 'fulilled in/by Jesus' 4:1 is the closest in 'New Testament Imperativity'.
I thereforethe prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

Individual vocation, corporate vocation then. Corporate vocantion, individual vocation now. Well, Wright in 'The Day the Revolution Began' says that we all, then and now, corporate and individual are in 'the covenant of vocation'--God to Man, Man to God. Further, there are more vocation now: astronaut, digital marketer, etc. And don't forget the whole era of monks inventing, and Cassiodorus preserving!

OK, this is number 127 in 'NTI'--my numbering.  What is #127 in Maimonides 613, what did it mean then individually and corporately, how was it fulfilled in/by Jesus, and what does it mean now, corporately and individually? 613 commandments - Wikipedia #127 
  1. Lev. 5:17–18 — Bring an asham talui (temple offering) when uncertain of guilt

How as this individual and corporate commandment fulfilled in/by Jesus? For Christians this is obvious, and when we are uncertain of our guilt, we flee to His sacrifice. To convince others, we need more refined exegesis, related to bulls?

Love in King Jesus,
Chuck
