Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives? For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she is released from the law of marriage. Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.
Romans 7:1-3 ESV
Related passages from the Old Testament (re the High Priest and levirate marriage) as well as the Greek word for a woman "which has a husband" (KJV) in v2 shed significant light on Paul's meaning in this passage. Here's a hint: It does not say that the Law dies or that the commandments in the Law are not for all Christians today. It's about authority relationships, not the applicability of Torah.
Here's another hint: "Under the Law" does not mean "required to keep the Law". It means "enslaved to the Law" or "subjected the Law's power to condemn".
We, the redeemed, are not slaves to the Law. Like the Sabbath, the Law was made for man, not man for the Law. It is a guide to help us conform our behavior to God's standards, not a task master to beat us into submission.

VERSE 1
Soft the sky, and low the gleaming,
Gold and glass in glory streaming.
Jasper walls and gates of pearl,
Twelve-fold light around them swirl.
VERSE 2
No more weep, no death remaining—
He the tears of saints unstraining.
Down descends the bride made new,
Clothed in dawn and crystal hue.
CHORUS
Light of the Lamb, shine ever near,
River of life, bright and clear.
Come, thou who thirsteth, come and see—
Tree of the life, for the free.

Light of the Lamb, shine ever near,
River of life, bright and clear.
Come, thou who thirsteth, come and see—
Tree of the life, for the free.
BRIDGE
Rise, O bride, and robe thee whiter—
Lo, the throne and star the brighter.
Glory flows and gates are wide—
All is pure, no sin inside.
CHORUS
Light of the Lamb, shine ever near,
River of life, bright and clear.
Come, thou who thirsteth, come and see—
Tree of the life, for the free.
