Romans 7:4

---

← Romans 7:3	Romans 7:4 (KJV)	Romans 7:5 →
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.	Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] 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.
