When I see "Law" capitalized mid-sentence, it evokes Judaic/Mosaic, European (specifically English) Common or statute law, Indian sub-continent Buddhist (karma) or Hindu (wheel), or Sinic (Confucian propriety/Rituals)*. In ordinary reading the context would establish which, but in short verse the reading of "Law" would set the context for everything else.

An utterly delicious idea. Why worry about plot, when you can trot in a whole galaxy of Christian ideology?
*"[L]aw" does not bring sharia to mind, for me, anyway.
