Jesus also uses 'law' to refer to Psalms, not just the Pentateuch

Mike provides additional evidence that 'the law' was used broadly in the NT.

In John 15:25, Jesus says 'the word that is written in their law must be fulfilled: they hated me without a cause' -- a quote from Psalm 35:19 and Psalm 69:4. Jesus uses 'law' to refer to the Psalms, confirming the term was fluid and did not always mean the Mosaic law narrowly. This supports reading 'the law also says' in 1 Corinthians 14:34 as a reference to Old Testament scripture broadly, likely Genesis 2.
