Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Introduction
Introduction
Paul describes for us a distinct change in how God will deal with man in the church age. This dealing is distinctly different from his prior dealing under the Mosaic law. It is foundational and imperative as Christians that we understand this, as it forms the basis for our life and underpins every motivation we have for service to God.

Paul contrasts the law with grace so we must understand what the law is
The Law was given to Israel to formalize how God was to be approached and worshipped
