Freed from the Law

1 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law1 has dominion over a man as long as he lives?  
2 For athe woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.  
3 So then aif, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.  
4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become adead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bbear fruit to God.

Romans 7:1-4

Freedom from the penalty of the law was a central element in Paul's explanation of the process of salvation in Romans 6. It is inseparably bound up with freedom from sin, although law is not equated with sin. In Romans 7:1-4 the law is depicted as a husband to whom his wife, the Christian, is bound as long as they both live. The husband's death frees her from that bond and enables her to marry another spiritually, Christ.
