This is just plain self-explanatory, when you really think about it:
ROMANS 6:14. And sin will not have dominion over you; for you are not under Torah but under grace. (AENT)
FOOTNOTE: Rav Shaul is juxtaposing the observance of former religious halacha ( "the way to go" or "the way of walking") with the grace that is available in Mashiyach (Messiah); see 3:19.
ROMANS 3:19. Now we know, that whatever Torah says, it says to them who are under Torah; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before Elohim. 20. And so it must be that, by the deeds of Torah, no flesh is justified before him: for, by Torah, sin is known. (AENT)
FOOTNOTE: Torah sets YHWH’s boundaries as to what is good or evil behavior; therefore, this cannot and does not make Torah a bad thing, but a very good thing! Rav Shaul (Paul) returns to this precise point again in the seventh chapter.
