    1Or don't you know, brothers (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man for as long as he lives?

    2For the woman that has a husband is bound by law to the husband while he lives, but if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband.

    3So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

    5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

    6But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

    7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn't have known sin, except through the law. For I wouldn't have known coveting, unless the law had said, "You shall not covet."

    8But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

    9I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

    2May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

    3Or don't you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

    4We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

    5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

    6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
