Old and New Covenant Contrasts

Law of flesh:

Romans 7:5-6 

5 For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. 

6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

Law of Spirit:

Romans 8:2 

Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

Not of faith:
Galatians 3:12 
The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”
Law of faith:

Romans 3:27 

Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith.

Yoke of bondage:

Galatians 5:1 

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Law of liberty:

James 1:25 

But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

Ended by Christ:

Romans 10:4 

Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Started by Christ:

Hebrews 8:6 

But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.

Hebrews 10:9 

Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second.
