New King James Version
Freed from the Law
7 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law [a]has dominion over a man as long as he lives? 2 For (A)the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. 3 So then (B)if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. 4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become (C)dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should (D)bear fruit to God.

Hebrews 10:8-12
New King James Version
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law), 9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, [a]O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 (A)By that will we have been [b]sanctified (B)through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Christ’s Death Perfects the Sanctified
11 And every priest stands (C)ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 (D)But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down (E)at the right hand of God,

Romans 3:25-31
New King James Version
25 whom God set forth (A)as a [a]propitiation (B)by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over (C)the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Boasting Excluded
27 (D)Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude (E)that a man is [b]justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, 30 since (F)there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

Hebrews 9:7-14
New King James Version
7 But into the second part the high priest went alone (A)once a year, not without blood, which he offered for (B)himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; 8 the Holy Spirit indicating this, that (C)the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered (D)which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— 10 concerned only with (E)foods and drinks, (F)various [a]washings, (G)and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.
The Heavenly Sanctuary
11 But Christ came as High Priest of (H)the good things [b]to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not (I)with the blood of goats and calves, but (J)with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place (K)once for all, (L)having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if (M)the blood of bulls and goats and (N)the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [c]sanctifies for the [d]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [e]spot to God, (O)cleanse your conscience from (P)dead works (Q)to serve the living God?
