Romans 7:1-3 ▼

1 Are you ignorant, brothers—for to those knowing law I speak—that the law has lordship over the man as long as he lives?

2 For the married woman to the living husband has been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she has been free from the law of the husband;

3 so then, the husband being alive, she will be called an adulteress if she may become another man’s; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man’s.
