Note that Paul specifically refers to commandments five through nine in 1 Timothy 1:9-10 and then includes the remainder of them when he writes "and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine" (1 Tim. Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted (1 Tim. As matter a fact, this is what Paul wrote in one of his expositions against false teachers: So, like Jesus he wasn't dismissing or eliminating the law.

So, when Jesus was giving his commandment on love being the fulfillment of the law (Matt.
Jesus did not come to destroy the law (which was in existence before Moses cf. Let me further explain this relationship between law and grace and the eternal cohesiveness of the covenant(s). (Please see "Why Obey God's Law?" below.) 1 John 1:8-10), genuine Christians desire to keep the entirety of the Ten Commandments flawlessly and continuously. It misunderstands the relationship between law and grace and the eternal cohesiveness of the covenant(s).
