For the womanwhichhath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosedfrom the law of her husband.
So then if, while her husbandliveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is freefromthat law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are becomedead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raisedfrom the dead, that we shouldbringforthfruitunto God.
But now we are deliveredfrom the law, thatbeingdeadwherein we wereheld; that we shouldserve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Whatshall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not knownlust, except the law had said, Thoushalt not covet.
Was thenthatwhich is goodmadedeathunto me? God forbid. But sin, that it mightappear sin, workingdeath in me by thatwhich is good; that sin by the commandmentmightbecomeexceedingsinful.
