Absolutely! I'm just trying to get a handle on this passage for tomorrow. I have a very bad habit of second guessing my sermons the night before. I look over the text and my notes, but can't help in revisiting my thoughts. Paul certainly isn't advocating antinomianism in this passage. Just two chapters over he blows that idea out of the water (Romans 6:1-2). I'm leaning toward my conviction that Paul is telling his readers that those who are of the faith of Abraham are not under the wrath of the law. That's where I heading with this unless someone can shed a different light on the text.
