I died to the law so that I might live for God.
The law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
We are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
A just man is not one who does no ill,
But he, who with the power, has not the will.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Render therefore to all their dues.
