GALATIANS
This book refutes that idea. There are three main elements to Paul's argument to the Galatian churches.
First, there is a defense of his apostleship, thus, his authority (1-2).
Second, there is the proposition that the law served a temporal, preparatory function. It was abolished, therefore, by the completion of Christ's mission (3-4).
Finally, one must personally accept one's responsibility to avoid the works of the flesh and to pursue the development of the Spirit's fruit (5-6).
