Romans 7:3-5

New English Translation

³ So then,^[a] if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her^[b] husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress. ⁴ So, my brothers and sisters,^[c] you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.^{[d] 5} For when we were in the flesh,^[e] the sinful desires,^[f] aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body^[g] to bear fruit for death.
