Romans 7:1-4

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Romans 7:1-4

1Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives?
2For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
3So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
4Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
— Romans 7:1-4
