Pretty obvious. Shut the fuck up when Paul is speaking. Remember Paul acted like an jerk at times. There are more than 600 laws. These pointed to the Old Covenant...similar to the 10 Commandments, yes, but signifying a different relationship.....more of submission to God rather than a code of moral behavior as was the case with the Ten.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
That last sentence is exactly what we mean by phrases such as "pick 'n' mix morality", and "the Big Book of Multiple Choice" to describe the bible.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Then you must have fun reading the US Constitution and law records for states, counties, and cities. They made the Bible laws look rather tame. Which book Fallen?

Probably true. I might give it a go, now you've piqued my interest. Living over here in this septic isle, I've never before felt the need. I enjoy reading the old unrepealed laws sometimes. My favourite, which means it's probably not true, is one from Texas which says something like "when two trains meet face to face on the same stretch of track, they must both stop immediately; neither one is allowed to move until the other one is out of sight".

The one which states "god's righteousness" as being greater than our flawed morality. You know, the one that you're currently trying to justify through your moral compass.
