2:19-20  I live no more in the flesh but I’m crucified with Christ, as Christ Lives in me....

Dead to any Law 2:19. Paul makes a strong point about being DEAD to Flesh Life, and places His New Life Only in Jesus’ Death (and Resurrection.)

3:1-5 You Received The Spirit by Faith

 3:6-9 Abraham believed and his Faith was counted as Righteousness

 3:10- The Just shall live by Faith, law is not Faith and cannot produce faith

3:10-13  Cursed is everyone who hangs an a tree.   Jesus bore the curse of the Law for us who believe,  having become a curse for us.        The direct reference to this is Due 21:22-23 Which deals with a rebellious and drunkard son. This emphasis shows the vast trouble of sin.

 Other References which might  fit: Gen 3:17 The Serpent on the tree of good and evil.... or  The Serpent on a pole by Moses, a Nehushtan that was broken by Hezekiah 2Kin 18:4. Jesus said He must be lifted up, as the serpent was lifted up Joh 3:14

 3:10-14 HE thus Redeemed us from Curse of The Law

 3:15-18 Abraham Justified by Faith

3:19-25 The Law was a schoolmaster leading us to it’s goal -  Who is Christ (the Messiah)      

3:28 In Christ, There is no Jew nor Greek, no bond nor free, no male nor female  - All are One in Christ and Abraham’s Seed, as was promised to all the nations through The Seed.

4:9-10 You were Gentiles observing (pagan) days, months, times and years when you ‘Knew Not God.’ Here is the ditch on the opposite side of the narrow road. On the one side we have Judaism and on the other Paganism. Both offer ritual, ceremony and tradition, but the truth lies in the narrow way....

4:18-19  I Paul fear for you that you would turn away from Christ being formed in you....

4:21-29 The analogy of Agar and Sarah - The One a Bondwoman is like The Jerusalem which is. The Other a Freewoman like the Jerusalem which is above

4:25 Agar is Mt. Sinai in Arabia - answering to the Jerusalem that now is.

4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free and the Mother of us all :31 for we are free

5:1 Stand fast in the Liberty - circumcision leads to being a debtor

 :4 Christ is no effect if you are justified by law, you are fallen from grace

 :5 we wait for The Hope of righteousness by Faith

5:9 A little Leaven leavens the whole lump

5:14 Love your neighbor as yourself

 :13-15 Love one Another

5:16- Walk in The Spirit

 :17 the flesh lusts against the Spirit

 :18 you are led by The Spirit are not under the law

 :19-21 Works of The Flesh   5:22-26 The Fruit of The Spirit
