Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
Rom 8:1-4
Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Rom 13:10
Love fulfils the law. What we know is a defended heart, and how cautious we are
to do anything without getting hurt.
Paul saw in his life the Holy Spirit moving and fulfilling what God called him to.
It is always about becoming not trying, working through issues in Him and with Him
and not trying to be something just for the sake of it, which is meaningless.

And if you wonder what kind of obedience he has in mind, he left us in no doubt. Just recall some of Romans 12:
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. . . . Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:9–14, 21).
That is what the obedience of faith looks like. That is the beauty that the nations of the world need to see — for the sake of the name.- 3
