    1Do 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?

    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.

    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.

    2Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

    3Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

    4Therefore, we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

    5For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in the resurrection.

    6We know this: our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, and we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

    7For the one who has died has been freed from sin.

    8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
