1. Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law,) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?
2. For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive; but if the husband should die, she is clear from the law of the husband:
3. so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man.
