Romans 7:3-4

7:3 So then, ¹  if she is joined to another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her ²  husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she is joined to another man, she is not an adulteress. 7:4 So, my brothers and sisters, ³  you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God. ⁴ 

¹ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

² tn Grk “the,” with the article used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

⁴ tn Grk “that we might bear fruit to God.”
