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 while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. ...
