More explanation about the icons and New Covenant Literal Application

The New Covenant Literal Application Code (NCLA) is an interpretive guide used by the authors to indicate which person categories a mitzvah applies to, and at what level of literal compliance.

Each card above groups one application level such as mandated or optional. The three people icons show whether that application is meant for Jewish, K'rov Yisrael, or Gentile believers, and the male or female symbols show whether it applies to men, women, or both.

Jewish
Jewish
Used for instruction directed to Jewish believers.
K'rov Yisrael
K'rov Yisrael
Used for non-Jewish believers living closely with Israel and Torah practice.
Gentile
Gentile
Used for instruction presented as applying to Gentile believers more broadly.
Male and female symbols
These show whether the instruction is directed to men, women, or both.

This code reflects the authors' interpretive opinion and is provided for prayerful consideration. The icon view is only a visual summary; the detailed codes and source explanation remain available below for careful study.

Detailed codes: GFm - Gentile female, mandated | GMm - Gentile male, mandated | JFm - Jewish female, mandated | JMm - Jewish male, mandated | KFm - K'rovat Yisrael female, mandated | KMm - K'rov Yisrael male, mandated

Commentary

Rabbi Michael Rudolph

“Fearing” God in 1 Peter 2:17 (CJB): “Be respectful to all- keep loving the brotherhood, fearing God ..” contradicts and not the same as being “afraid” of him as the word “fear” is used in 1 John 4:18 (NKJ): “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” Being afraid of God and at the same time loving him as in Deuteronomy 6:5 (NKJ): “with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” is not even possible. Indeed, we are to appreciate God’s power to discipline, but the kind of fear of God we are to have, is ideally one of “reverent” respect for his authority and greatness.
