Jakob, there are about 7 different uses of the word "law" in the New Testament. There is a reference to the law as the Bible as a whole but then there is the reference to the Mosaic law, or even sometimes merely as a reference to an aspect of the Mosaic law. The context must determine the usage. The usage in Mt has to do with Scriptures whereas the usage in Colossians has to do with the Mosaic law.

Oops. *not even part of the law*

Dr. Grant,
This may be a bad question, but if it is it should not be hard to answer. This verse says the God canceled the law, but Jesus said that even on part of the law would pass away (Mt. 5:18). How can these be reconciled? Thanks!
