The two most basic options I have for what the law of sin and of death are is that it is either that the soul that sins shall die and Adam and Eve reaped the consequence of death to the sin they committed, or that it is the Law which prescribed the death penalty for those who break it.
To be sure, the Law is about love of God and love of our neighbor. So when I see that the wages of sin is death and that sin can be committed against ones own body that has lasting effects, I believe it is likely the first of these options that makes the most sense. Reading in context it is possible that I am wrong.
You are looking at Romans chapter 8, and I would focus on verses 1 through 4. I read the NASB.
If you are saying I should not observe or fulfill it would you say the alternative is to transgress it?
Jesus is the only one ever to perfectly fulfill the Law. He never sinned. Just because I have sinned in my life does not mean I should sin now.
