A number of curses for failure to comply with the Law are listed at Lev
26:14-39, Deut 27:15-26, and Deut 28:15-68. Those curses are
covenanted, i.e. contractual. Well; Jesus' people are not contracted with God
to comply with the covenant that Moses' people entered into with God per
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy; so if and when Jesus' people
break the Law, they need not fear the covenant's retribution.
In point of fact: Jesus' people need not fear any curses whatsoever because
their association with God is based upon a different covenant wherein are no
curses for non compliance.

My View
It means you can't keep the 613 laws that God put in place ---if you break one law you have broken them all ----only Jesus could keep the laws ------the curse was in place for disobeying the laws -----so the Blessings of God for His people were nil in void as no man could keep them ---
Jesus kept the laws and brought the Blessings back into play for Believers ----the unbelievers are still under the curses of disobedience -----as is this World ------only Believers are under the Blessings as Believers are not under the law anymore but under Grace ----

Scripture says otherwise:
Galatians 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the book of the Law." (emphasis added).
You either do EVERYTHING under the Law, which is impossible, or you are justified by faith in Christ Jesus. There is no middle ground.
Further, there is no verse in Scripture that separates the Law into different components. It's one Law; you break one commandment, you have broken the whole Law.
