Could the "spirit of the law" be taken from this passage?.
Rom. 7:6
'But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. "
Here is a clear reference to "the letter" of the law, from which we've been delivered and "newness of spirit" in which we should serve.
And Christ's extention to the spirituality of the law is another support for this shift from the letter to the spirit: OT to NT thinking if you will.
