John 1:17 contrasts law & grace as lie & truth
- the law (die lie) was given by Moses, [but]
- grace and truth came by Jesus Christ

Applying this contrast to Gen 2:16 & 2:17
- Gen 2:16 = grace & truth came by JC... Save.
- Gen 2:17 = law & lie given by Moses... Delete.

God (Grace) can't lie (law) is why God can't die

Galatians 1:6 & 6:2 talks about these as:
- "the grace of Christ" is what "you" called into
- "the law of Christ" is what "ye" (do err) can do
Gal 1:6 Galatians got removed from grace of Christ
Gal 5:4 going to law is as ye are fallen from grace

Applying this info to Gen 2:16 & 2:17
- Gen 2:16 is as the grace of Christ... Save.
- Gen 2:17 is as the law of Christ... Delete.
