Romans 7:1-3 Part 2 of 2

Do you not know, brothers and sisters--for I am speaking to those who know the law--that the law has the authority over someone only as long as that person lives? For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him. So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

 

but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him 

1 Corinthians 7:39  A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 

if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress 

Luke 16:18  "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery." 

Matthew 5:31-32  "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' [Deuteronomy 24:1] But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Matthew 19:9  "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."

Mark 10:11-12  He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man she commits adultery."

1 Corinthians 7:10-11  To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
