Two options:

Keep the commandments, escape the penalty;
Break the commandments, suffer the penalty.
“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.” Romans 3:20
·GRACE
Keep the commandments, suffer the penalty;
Break the commandments, escape the penalty.
