The law was God's temporary economy (dispensation) for man in the Old Testament, since it was added temporarily because of man's (transgressions); the faith is God's (eternal) economy (dispensation) for man in the New Testament, because it is based on God's (eternal) plan. In the Old Testament God dealt with man according to the (law). If, according to that dispensation of God, man would have done what God commanded in the law, he would have obtained righteousness, that is, the righteousness of the law, the righteousness which is out of the (law).
