Romans 7:2-6

2For instanceG3588G1063, a marriedG5220 womanG1135 is boundG1210 by lawG3551 toG3588 her husbandG435 as long as he livesG2198. ButG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 diesG599, she is releasedG2673 fromG575 theG3588 lawG3551 ofG3588 marriage. 3SoG3767 thenG686, ifG1437 she isG1096 joined to anotherG2087 manG435 while her husbandG435 is still aliveG2198, she is calledG5537 an adulteressG3428; butG1161 ifG1437 her husbandG435 diesG599, she isG1510 freeG1658 fromG575 thatG3588 lawG3551 and isG1510 notG3361 an adulteressG3428 if she marries anotherG2087 manG435.

4ThereforeG5620, myG1473 brothersG80, youG4771 alsoG2532 diedG2289 to theG3588 lawG3551 throughG1223 theG3588 bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, thatG1519 youG4771 might belongG1096 to anotherG2087, toG3588 Him who was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498, in order thatG2443 we might bear fruitG2592 to GodG2316. 5ForG1063 whenG3753 weG1510 lived according toG1722 theG3588 fleshG4561, theG3588 sinfulG266 passionsG3804 aroused byG1223 theG3588 lawG3551 were at workG1754 inG1722 ourG1473 bodiesG3196, bearing fruitG1519G3588G2592 for deathG2288. 6ButG1161 nowG3570, having diedG599 toG1722 whatG3739 bound usG2722, we have been releasedG2673 fromG575 theG3588 lawG3551, so thatG5620 weG1473 serveG1398 inG1722 the new wayG2538 of the SpiritG4151, andG2532 notG3756 in the old wayG3821 of the written codeG1121.
