III. The New Law or the Law of the Gospel

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1973
Besides its precepts, the New Law also includes the evangelical counsels. the
traditional distinction between God’s commandments and the evangelical counsels
is drawn in relation to charity, the perfection of Christian life. the precepts
are intended to remove whatever is incompatible with charity. the aim of the
counsels is to remove whatever might hinder the development of charity, even if
it is not contrary to it.³²
