You asked

what understanding of 'law' would paul's original audience have had here?

Adds the setting and its conversation across both testaments.

Please provide a passage reference from Paul's letters (e.g., Romans 7:7, Galatians 3:24, Philippians 3:6).

To fully answer your question about Paul's original audience's understanding of 'law,' I need a specific passage from his writings. The meaning and implications of 'law' (nomos in Greek) vary depending on the context within Paul's letters.

Paul frequently discusses 'the Law,' often referring to the Torah, the Mosaic covenant, or principles of ethical conduct. His audience, whether Jewish or Gentile, would have brought different assumptions to this concept.
