Romans 7:1

← Romans 6:23	Romans 7:1 (KJV)	Romans 7:2 →
For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.	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?	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.
