    2For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is released from the law of her husband.

    3So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she will be called an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she is married to another man.

    4Therefore, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that you may be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

    5For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, worked in our members to bear fruit to death.

    6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

    7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not. Indeed, I would not have known sin except through the law: for I would not have known lust unless the law had said, 'You shall not covet.'

    8But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of covetousness. For without the law, sin was dead.

    9For I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

    10And the commandment, which was intended for life, I found to be leading to death.
