Romans 7:1–4
7 Since I am speaking to those who know the law, brothers and sisters,h don’t you know that the law rules over someone as long as he lives? 2 For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives.i But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband. 3 So then, if she is married to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she is married to another man, she is not an adulteress.
4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to deathj in relation to the lawk through the body of Christl so that you may belong to another. You belong to him who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.
