Romans 7:1 - 7:3

Released from the Law

Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is master over a person as long as he lives?
2 For the married woman has been bound by law to her husband while he is living, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. 3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.
