Romans 7:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death(A) in relation to the law(B) through the crucified body of the Messiah,(C) so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh,[a](D) the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us[b](E) and bore fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way[c] of the Spirit(F) and not in the old letter of the law.

Romans 7:4-6
King James Version
4 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.
5 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.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
