Jesus said, "Do unto... TOGA! TOGA!" |
It's not that Paul sums up the entire Bible up to that point, but it is quite notable how he tries to reconcile the Old Testament to the New— as Jesus had to do more than a few times prior to that. To do so, Paul reinterprets the meaning of previous scripture, deciding what should be taken literally or not. It's interesting because interpreting Paul's words becomes a bit of a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. (Sorry, I've been listening to the new Arcade Fire lately and had to work it in.)

So you are saying the old ploy of having the evil villain explain how he caught the hero in his trap (thereby allowing the hero time to escape) is an even older ploy than we realized?
