QUESTION: Does the New Testament clearly state that Christians are no longer under the Ten Commandments?

ANSWER: Yes!

In verse seven, he tells us that the law we are “dead to” and “delivered from” is the law that says, “Thou shalt not covet!” The law that says, “Thou shalt not covet” clearly refers to the Ten Commandments! In fact, “Thou shalt not covet is the tenth Commandment (Exodus 20:17)!
