Romans 7:2

---

← Romans 7:1	Romans 7:2 (KJV)	Romans 7:3 →
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.	So 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 married to another man.
