Romans 7:4-6

4Therefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God. 5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit to death.1 6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.2
