Paul uses OT law as wisdom: Ephesians 5 cites the fifth commandment; the principle rather than the code

Q&A: how NT epistles apply OT law

Winger gives the example of Ephesians 5 ("children, obey your parents... that it may go well with you and you may live long"), where Paul quotes the fifth commandment to urge obedience — not as reinstating Mosaic law but as drawing wisdom. Paul says we are not under the law but still uses law for teaching/wisdom. This is the model for how to apply OT law today.
