Richard Hays studied some of these passages with the help of Griemas’ analytic method, and reached the conclusion that, even in small formulations such as Galatians 3:13–14 and 4:3–6, we find ‘the presence and shape of a gospel story to which Paul alludes and appeals’.119 The list of such passages could be extended almost indefinitely: simply within Romans, obvious passages include 3:24–6; 4:24–5; 5:6–10; 6:9–10; 7:4; 8:3–4; 10:3–4; 15:3, and 15:7–9.
