Love Your Neighbor
8 Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” [a]“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

"Is the Law of Moses, including the Ten Commandments, still
applicable today? Yes. But we know that keeping the Law does not
give us entrance into heaven. Eternal life is a gift of God's grace,
through faith in Jesus Christ. The Law exists today to give us an
external witness to the will of God revealed to us by the Holy Spirit which
indwells every true follower of Jesus Christ.
Along these lines, you may wish to pay special attention to what
the Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians, chapter 5. There he talks about
walking in the Spirit in order to be truly free of the Law and its
requirements."
