  • Rom 7:1-3 : 1 Do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person as long as they live? 2 For a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. 3 Consequently, while her husband is still alive, she would be called an adulteress if she joins herself to another man; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so she would not be an adulteress by becoming another man’s wife.
