Romans:7:1-6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Know ye not ,
brethren , (
for I speak to them that know the law ,)
how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth ?
*
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth ;
but if the husband be dead ,
she is loosed from the law of her husband .
*
So then if ,
while her husband liveth ,
she be married to another man ,
she shall be called an adulteress :
but if her husband be dead ,
she is free from that law ;
so that she is no adulteress ,
though she be married to another man .
*
Wherefore ,
my brethren ,
ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ ;
that ye should be married to another ,
even to him who is raised from the dead ,
that we should bring forth fruit unto God .
*
For when we were in the flesh ,
the motions of sins ,
which were by the law ,
did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death .
*
But now we are delivered from the law ,
that being dead wherein we were held ;
that we should serve in newness of spirit ,
and not in the oldness of the letter .
