Romans 7:2-6

2For 1the marriedG5220 womanG1135 is boundG1210 by lawG3551 to her 2husbandG435 while he is livingG2198; but ifG1437 her husbandG435 diesG599, she is releasedG2673 from the lawG3551 3concerning the husbandG435. 3SoG686 thenG686, ifG1437 while her husbandG435 is livingG2198 she is joinedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she shall be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428; but ifG1437 her husbandG435 diesG599, she is freeG1658 from the lawG3551, so that she is not an adulteressG3428 though she is joinedG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435.

4ThereforeG5620, my brethrenG80, you alsoG2532 were 4madeG2289 to dieG2289 5to the LawG3551 6throughG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, soG1519 that you might be joinedG1096 to anotherG2087, to Him who was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, in orderG2443 that we might bearG2592 fruitG2592 for GodG2316. 5For whileG3753 we were 7in the fleshG4561, the sinfulG266 passionsG3804, which were 8aroused by the LawG3551, were at workG1754 9in 10the membersG3196 of our body to bearG2592 fruitG2592 for deathG2288. 6But nowG3570 we have been 11releasedG2673 from the LawG3551, having 12diedG599 to that by whichG3739 we were boundG2722, soG5620 that we serveG1398 in 13newnessG2538 of 14the 15SpiritG4151 and not in oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121.
