Romans 7:1 - The Message
You shouldnt have any trouble understanding this, friends, for you know all the ins and outs of the law—how it works and how its power touches only the living. For instance, a wife is legally tied to her husband while he lives, but if he dies, shes free. If she lives with another man while her husband is living, shes obviously an adulteress. But if he dies, she is quite free to marry another man in good conscience, with no ones disapproval.
