    An utterly delicious idea. Why worry about plot, when you can trot in a whole galaxy of Christian ideology?

Capitalizing "[L]aw" could add some richness/ambivalence, probably more than these simple verses can bear.  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.  (I was thinking statute law, mainly.)

*"[L]aw" does not bring sharia to mind, for me, anyway.
