Romans 7:1-3

1Since I am speaking to those who know the law, brothers and sisters, don’t you know that the law rules over someone as long as he lives?

2For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband.

3So then, if she is married to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she is married to another man, she is not an adulteress.
