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.  
5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law awere at work in our members bto bear fruit to death.

Romans 7:3

While the husband liveth (zwntov tou androv). Genitive absolute of present active participle of zaw.

She shall be called (xrhmatisei). Future active indicative of xrhmatizw, old verb, to receive a name as in Acts 11:26, from xrhma, business, from xraomai, to use, then to give an oracle, etc.

An adulteress (moixaliv). Late word, in Plutarch, LXX. See on Matthew 12:39.

If she be joined (ean genhtai). Third class condition, "if she come to."

So that she is no adulteress (tou mh einai authn moixalida). It is a fact that tou and the infinitive is used for result as we saw in Romans 1:24. Conceived result may explain the idiom here.
