Romans 7:1-6 - Released From The Law Through Death
1 ARE you ignorant, brothers, for I speak to them who understand law, that the law has authority over a man as long as he lives? 2 For a woman under a husband is bound by law to a living husband; but if the husband has died she is released from the law of the husband. 3 Therefore while the husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she is married to another man; but if the husband has died, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if married to another man.
4 So, my brothers, you have also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you should be married to another, to him that was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful affections operated through the law in our members to bear fruit to death; 6 but now we are released from the law by which we were held having died, that we should serve [God] in newness of spirit, not in the old age of a writing.
