Romans 7:1-6

1OrG2228 do you not knowG50, 1brothersG80 and sisters (for I am speakingG2980 to those who knowG1097 the 2LawG3551), that the 3LawG3551 hasG2961 jurisdictionG2961 overG2961 a personG444 as longG5550 as he livesG2198? 2For 4the marriedG5220 womanG1135 is boundG1210 by lawG3551 to her 5husbandG435 as long as he isG2198 aliveG2198; but ifG1437 her husbandG435 diesG599, she is releasedG2673 from the lawG3551 6concerning the husbandG435. 3SoG686 thenG3767, ifG1437 while her husbandG435 isG2198 aliveG2198 she 7givesG1096 herselfG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435, she will be calledG5537 an adulteressG3428; but ifG1437 her husbandG435 diesG599, she is freeG1658 from the lawG3551, so that she is not an adulteressG3428 if she 8givesG1096 herselfG1096 to anotherG2087 manG435.

4ThereforeG5620, my brothersG80 and sisters, you alsoG2532 were 9putG2289 toG2289 deathG2289 10in regard to the LawG3551 11throughG1223 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, soG1519 thatG1519 you might belongG1096 to anotherG2087, to Him who was raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 we might bearG2592 fruitG2592 for GodG2316. 5For whileG3753 we were 12in the fleshG4561, the sinfulG266 passionsG3804, which were 13brought to light by the LawG3551, were at workG1754 14in 15the partsG3196 of our body to bearG2592 fruitG2592 for deathG2288. 6But nowG3570 we have been 16releasedG2673 from the LawG3551, having 17diedG599 to that by whichG3739 we were boundG2722, soG5620 thatG5620 we serveG1398 in 18newnessG2538 of 19the 20SpiritG4151 and not in oldnessG3821 of the letterG1121.
