Romans 7:1-4

1 Or do you not know, ^abrethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? 2 For ^bthe married woman is bound by law to her ^{▼▼ Lit living husband}husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law ^{▼▼ Lit of}concerning the husband. 3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.

4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were ^emade to die ^fto the Law ^gthrough the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
