CHAP. 7: 1—6.

*Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth 1 ^For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. ^Sq then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress : but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law ; so that she is no adulteress, though she be mar- ried to another man. ^Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ ; that ye should be married to another, eveji to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. ^For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. ^But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held ; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the old- ness of the letter.
