Romans 6:14
For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
-
Hebrews 10:15-18
The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,“ This is the covenant that I will make with them:‘ After those days,’ says the Lord,‘ I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;’” then he says,“ I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Romans 7:4
Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might produce fruit to God.

Hebrews 7:11-19
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood( for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;for it is testified,“ You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness( for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

Hebrews 8:3-13
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law,who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said,“ See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.For finding fault with them, he said,“ Behold, the days come”, says the Lord,“ that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.“ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord;“ I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, and every man his brother, saying,‘ Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.”In that he says,“ A new covenant”, he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

Galatians 4:1-6
But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a bondservant, though he is lord of all,but is under guardians and stewards until the day appointed by the father.So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world.But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law,that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children.And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying,“ Abba, Father!”
