Romans 7:1-3

Brothers and sisters, I am speaking to you who know the law. Don’t you know that the law has authority over someone only as long as they live? For example, by law a married woman remains married as long as her husband lives. But suppose her husband dies. Then the law that joins her to him no longer applies. But suppose that married woman sleeps with another man while her husband is still alive. Then she is called a woman who commits adultery. But suppose her husband dies. Then she is free from that law. She is not guilty of adultery if she marries another man.
