Roma 4:20

4:20 He ¹  did not waver in unbelief about the promise of God but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.

Roma 7:2

7:2 For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her ²  husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage. ³ 

[4:20]  ¹ tn Grk “And he.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, δέ (de) has not been translated here.

[7:2]  ² tn Grk “the,” with the article used as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

[7:2]  ³ tn Grk “husband.”

[7:2]  sn Paul’s example of the married woman and the law of the marriage illustrates that death frees a person from obligation to the law. Thus, in spiritual terms, a person who has died to what controlled us (v. 6) has been released from the law to serve God in the new life produced by the Spirit.
