OET (OET-RV) having declared the old commandments to be now void so that Jews and non-Jews can now be peaceably united.
τὸν νόμον τῶν ἐντολῶν ἐν δόγμασιν καταργήσας
the law ˱of˲_the commandments in decrees /having/_nullified
Jesus’ blood satisfies the law of Moses so that both the Jews and Gentiles can live at peace in God. Alternate translation: [He took away the requirements in the law of Moses]
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
ἵνα
in_order_that
The connecting phrase so that introduces a goal relationship. The goal or purpose of Christ in abolishing the law was to join the Jews and the Gentiles together into one group.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἕνα καινὸν ἄνθρωπον
one new man
Paul talks about the unity of Jews and Gentiles as if they had become one person. Alternate translation: [a single new people]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐν αὑτῷ
in in himself
Being joined to Christ is what makes reconciliation possible between Jews and Gentiles. Paul describes this relationship as though Christ surrounded all of us. Alternate translation: [because he made it possible]
2:15 ending the system of law: See Rom 10:4; Col 2:14; cp. Rom 6:14; 7:4-6.
• The church is one new people, a community where love and acceptance are prized and ethnic distinctions are no longer a source of division (see Rom 15:7-12; Gal 3:28; cp. John 10:16).
