For (A)the married woman is bound by law to her [a]husband as long as he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law [b]concerning the husband. So then, if while her husband is alive she [c]gives herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she [d]gives herself to another man.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were (B)put to death (C)in regard to the Law (D)through the body of Christ, so that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
