Is anyone really good with Greek that would be able to tell me the difference between "fulfill" in Matthew 5:17 and Galatians 6:2 ? -- and to clarify, I have looked at a concordance. Beside the spelling of the words, I do not understand the difference.

Comment

I'm not a Greek expert, but I do see that they come from the same root. (Gal 6:2 is combined with "by" and thus is translated "so fulfil." ) I think the concept in both passages is the same. "Fulfilling" the law in each case is putting it into practice. In Matt 5:17, Yeshua coming to "fulfil" is contrasted against Him "throwing down" the law.
