Isaiah 8:20
20 aTo the teaching and to the testimony! If they will not speak according to this word, it is because they have no bdawn.Matthew 19:17-19
17And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. cIf you would enter life, keep the commandments.” 18He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, d“You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19Honor your father and mother, and, eYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.”Mark 10:18-19
18And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19You know the commandments: f‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”Luke 10:26-28
26He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27And he answered, g“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and hyour neighbor as yourself.” 28And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; ido this, and you will live.”Romans 3:20

The Law and Sin
7What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, mI would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if nthe law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8But sin, oseizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. pFor apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10The very commandment qthat promised life proved to be death to me. 11For sin, rseizing an opportunity through the commandment, sdeceived me and through it killed me.
