New Testament

Romans 7:1-3 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Or do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is master of a person for as long a time as he lives?

2. For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the husband.

3. Therefore as a result, if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she belongs to another man.
