Or do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is binding on a person only as long as he lives?

Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress.

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. ...

Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.
