We are all under the law as none of us is righteous or without sin.
It’s not like some can bypass it and other’s can’t.
All the law does is point out our sin like the next verse says from Paul
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
All the Ten Commandments do is point our sin, so we don’t depend on our righteousness, but God’s Psa 119:172 and points us to Jesus who has the power to cleanse and sanctify. 1 John 1:9
If we cover our sins, we can’t prosper by going to Jesus for His forgiveness, mercy grace and sanctification Pro 28:13 1 John 1:9 and thats a dangerous place to be. Heb 10:26-30
We can gain victory over sin, Jesus doesn’t make us do it alone but it requires a humble and willing heart John 14:15-18
Jesus is more powerful to keep us from sin than the devil is to keep us in sin, God’s law just gives us something to measure ourselves with as it is what we will all be judged by James 2:10-12 Mat 5:18-30 Rev 22:14-15 regardless if one accepts or not.
The only one who can condemn is Jesus, so best to leave the judging to Him and we are told we have two paths….
Romans 6:16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
It’s up to us who we want to follow, the more popular teachings we don’t need to keep God’s Ten Commandments or the teachings of Jesus who taught to keep the commandments warned not to break the least of these commandments Mat 15:3-14, Mark 7:7-13 Mat 5:18-30 Mat 19:17-19 and was lived out in His life John 15:10 and is our example to follow. 1 John 2:6 1 Peter 2:22-23
