Romans
7:1-6
Do
you not know, brothers--
For
I am speaking to men who know the Law--
That
the Law has authority over a man
Only
as long as he lives?
2
For example,
By
Law a married woman is Bound to her husband
As
long as he is alive,
But
if her husband dies, she is Released
From
the Law of Marriage.
3
So then, if she marries another man
While
her husband is still alive,
She
is called an Adulteress.
But
if her husband dies,
She
is Released from that Law
And
is not an Adulteress,
Even
though she marries another man.
4
So, my brothers,
You
also Died to the Law through the Body of Christ,
That
you might belong to another,
TO
HIM WHO WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD,
IN
ORDER THAT WE MIGHT BEAR FRUIT TO GOD.
5
FOR WHEN WE WERE CONTROLLED BY THE SINFUL NATURE,
THE
PASSIONS AROUSED BY THE LAW
WERE
AT WORK IN OUR BODIES,
SO
WE BORE FRUIT FOR DEATH.
6
But now, by Dying to what once bond us,
We
have been Released from the Law
SO
THAT WE SERVE IN THE NEW WAY OF THE SPIRIT,
AND
NOT IN THE OLD WAY OF THE WRITTEN CODE.
(Romans
7:1-6)
As
Christians we have Died to the Law
Through
Obedience to Christ, by the Spirit,
That
we might bear Fruit to God.
We
serve the New Way of the Spirit
And
not the old way of the written code.
