How would you respond to someone who used 2 Cor. 3 (such as vss. 3, 7-12) to argue that the Ten Commandments as a code are gone - they were a ministry of death. (And they recognize that most have been repeated in the NT and are binding for that reason).
ALL believers are a holy and sanctified people, and that sanctification is a spiritual grace of the new covenant, and an effect of the love of God manifested in the soul, whereby the believer presseth after a heavenly and evangelical obedience to all the commands, which Christ as head and king in His new covenant hath prescribed to them.
1 Cor.12; 1 Pet.2:9; Eph.1:4; 1 John 4:16; Matt.28:20.

The Ten Commandments have not gone.
Old Testament saints and those in the New Covenant have the law written on their hearts (Jer 31:33; Ezek 36:26-27; 2Cor 3:3; Heb 9:14 ). They are not under the law as something that condemns them (Rom 8:1 ), but instead they love God's laws and seek to obey it out of a full heart (Psalm 1:2; 119:97 etc; Rom 7:22 ).
