Romans 7:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death(A) in relation to the law(B) through the body of Christ(C) 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,(D) the sinful passions aroused through the law were working in us[a](E) 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(F) and not in the old letter of the law.

4 So then, my brothers, you also were brought to death with respect to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, sinful desires were working through the law in our members, to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, because we[a] have died to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter of the law.
