Romans:7:1-6
mnt@Romans:7:1 @ Surely, brothers, you know (for I am speaking to those who know what law means) that law governs a person only during his lifetime?
mnt@Romans:7:2 @ For a married woman who has a husband is bound by law to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.
mnt@Romans:7:3 @ So then, if during her husband lifetime, she unites herself with another man, she will be counted an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, even if she unites herself with another man.
mnt@Romans:7:4 @ So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.
mnt@Romans:7:5 @ For while we were unspiritual, the sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were ever active in every part of our bodies, leading us to bear fruit unto death.
mnt@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the Law, because we are dead to that in which we were held; so that we are now in thraldom in new and spiritual conditions, and not under the old written code.
