Ephesians 2:15 has some interesting text in the KJV:
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
What I'm curious about here is the words "commandments" and "ordinances". I'm curious why a distinction. Is there words for law or other words possibly elsewhere that makes distinctions between these to words where maybe the Greek translations are using one word such as Law for both?
