    2For 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.

    3Consequently, 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.

    4Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—in order that we might bear fruit for God.

    5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.

    6But now we have been released from the law, having died to what once bound us, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.

    7What shall we say then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet.'

    8But sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.

    9At one time I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin came to life and I died.

    10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
