Romans 7:3-5

International Standard Version

³ So while her husband is living, she will be called an adulterer if she lives with another man. But if her husband dies, she is free from this Law, so that she is not an adulterer if she marries another man.

⁴ In the same way, my brothers, through the Messiah’s^[a] body you also died as far as the Law is concerned, so that you may belong to another person, the one who was raised from the dead, and may bear fruit for God. ⁵ For while we were living according to our human nature,^[b] sinful passions were at work in our bodies^[c] by means of the Law, to bear fruit resulting in death.
