Footnotes

  1. Romans 7:2 tn Grk “the,” with the article used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).
  2. Romans 7:2 tn Grk “husband.”sn Paul’s example of the married woman and the law of the marriage illustrates that death frees a person from obligation to the law. Thus, in spiritual terms, a person who has died to what controlled us (v. 6) has been released from the law to serve God in the new life produced by the Spirit.
