Romans 7

4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death  * 7:4 Rm 6:2 in relation to the law  * 7:4 Rm 8:2; Gl 2:19; 5:18 through the body of Christ  * 7:4 Col 1:22 so that you may belong to another. You belong to him who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh,  * 7:5 Rm 8:8–10; 2Co 10:3 the sinful passions aroused through the law were working in us  * 7:5 Lit in our members,* 7:5 Rm 6:13,21,23 to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the newness of the Spirit  * 7:6 Rm 2:29 and not in the old letter of the law.
