rkjnt Romans:7:1-6
rkjnt@Romans:7:1 @ Do you not know, brethren, (for I speak to those who know the law,) that the law has jurisdiction over a person only as long as he lives?
rkjnt@Romans:7:2 @ For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband dies, she is released from the law concerning her husband.
rkjnt@Romans:7:3 @ So then, if she marries another man while her husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband dies, she is free from that law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she marries another man.
rkjnt@Romans:7:4 @ Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ; so that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we might bring forth fruit for God.
rkjnt@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin, which were aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bring forth fruit for death.
rkjnt@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been released from the law, dead to that which held us bound; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
