Yochanan (John) 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave his only and unique Son, so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed."

From Introduction of Stern's Jewish New Testament: “For example, in other versions the Greek phrase upo nomon is usually translated "under the law". But because this rendering has been used to buttress anti-torah Christian theology, the Jewish New Testament spells out the meaning of these two Greek words in thirteen English words: "in subjection to the system which results from perverting the Torah into legalism." – D. Stern
What is the result of Mr. Sterns new, previously unknown, translation of the term "Law"? His book of Galatians makes Paul into the Hero of the enemy he was (in fact) fighting against!
Let us look at Galatians 2:19.
The REAL New Testament says...
"For I through the Law - under the operations (of the curse) of the Law - have (in Christ's death for me) myself died to the Law and all the Law's demands upon me, so that I may (henceforth) live to and for God." - The Amplified Bible
The false "Jewish New Testament" says...
"For it was through letting the Torah speak for itself that I died to it's traditional legalistic misinterpretation, so that I might live in direct relationship with God."
What's the problem? While Paul clearly says that He is dead to the Torah, Mr. Stern tries to make Paul say that it was only a "misinterpretation" of the Torah which Paul has died to. And the implication which Mr. Stern wants to infer is that Paul (and so, every believer in Jesus) is still under an obligation to obey the "real" Torah.
The entire book of Galatians is distorted and perverted by Mr. Stern's false interpretation and that falsehood can be found throughout Mr. Stern's entire false translation.
