Romans 7:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 So, my brothers, you also were (A)made to die (B)to the Law (C)through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were (D)in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were (E)aroused by the Law, were at work (F)in our members to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been (G)released from the Law, having (H)died to that by which we were constrained, so that we serve in (I)newness of [a](J)the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

Romans 7:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death(A) in relation to the law(B) through the crucified body of the Messiah,(C) so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh,[a](D) the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us[b](E) and bore 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 new way[c] of the Spirit(F) and not in the old letter of the law.
