| Summary: | The genitive in ‘the law of Christ’ (Gal 6:2) should be understood as explanatory, i.e. ‘the law which is Christ’. The concept is explained by Philo’s reference to a person as ‘a living law’, which itself is rooted in a much older and widespread tradition of Hellenistic kingship.\n4207 Le génitif dans l’expression «la loi du Christ» (Gal. 6,2) doit être compris comme génitif épexégétique (explicatif), à savoir «la loi qui est le Christ».
