Definition: Verse 15: "And he said unto them, Ye shall know the law when ye do it." The phrase "ahems" occurs in verse 27, where Jesus says, "Ye shall know the law when ye do it." This phrase refers to the practice of following and observing specific rules or statutes, as outlined by God's commandments. The word "ahems" is from the Greek phrase "ahemai", which means "to be taught," and can also be translated as "know", "understand," or "believe." In context, this verse suggests that when followers of Jesus begin to know and understand what the law is for, they will eventually become more knowledgeable about their relationship with God. This understanding could lead to a closer relationship, increased faith, and better stewardship over material possessions and desires. The commandments are mentioned in verse 28 as "the law" (v.16), which outlines various principles or commands that Christians must observe daily in order to live a life of obedience and faithfulness to God's will. These laws would be the basis for understanding and following the teachings of Jesus.
