Romans 7:2 ASV

¹  Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?

²  For the woman that hath a husband is bound by law to the husband while he liveth; but if the husband die, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

³  So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if the husband die, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

⁴  Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, 'even' to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.
