The basis of the law is about love, thus due what God commands without all your soul, might and strength. Love your neighbor and be a blessing to them through loving the commandments of God and to act in stewarship to the world around you. Thus loving the things God has provided.
Paul states he did not know sin but by the law, that it was a school master to lead us to Christ. There are so many commandments under the law, like food laws, that are no longer binding.
