Answer the ends of the law

2nd Nephi, 2:7 Behold, he offereth himself a ^asacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law

In Spanish, it says: He aquí, él se ofrece a sí mismo en ^asacrificio por el pecado, para satisfacer las demandas de la ley

The difference is where it says to answer the ends of the law. The direct translation from Spanish would be to satisfy the demands of the law.

I think that makes it clearer to know that the law demands a punishment. The law cannot be ignored. If a child walks in front of a car, he will be hit by the car, no matter how much we love that child. When we sin, there has to be a punishment or consequence. The law demands it.

But Christ offered (from Spanish) of himself in sacrifice for sin to satisfy those demands.
