Any reference to law in the NT may mean
1. civil law
2. The Torah of Moses, the Pentateuch
3. The Tanakh, what we call the OT.
4. The Oral Law of the Pharisees.

Some do not know all of these options. Then we need to try to figure out when one is the best fit in context. As we know from the gospels, Jesus had some big problems with some aspects of the Oral law, when it negated the Written law.

We need to strive to do the same, not all tradition is wrong, but tradition that negates Scripture is wrong.
