Rom.7:3 So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she would be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man.

We must understands Paul’s words in contexts to his letter too the Romans he is not counseling the Roman’s regarding marriage as some understand his words here out of context, no! What Paul is explaining is the Law and its power over the living; rather he is setting the stage for our being released from the Law while still living in our flesh.

This thought is superhuman beyond the power of man, it must come to us through God’s power. However, not understanding what God has done for the Romans is equal to going back under the Law they were set free from through the great price of Christ Jesus life.

Jesus stated the power of the Law cannot be removed in his Sermon on the Mount:

Matt: 5:17 "Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill. 5:18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter{literally, iota} or one tiny pen stroke{or, serif} shall
in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished. The power of the Law is nullified in our death, or in Paul’s discussion the woman is styled as an adulteress if she is with another man while her husband is alive, but if he dies she is
free to marry again, and will not be considered and adulteress. Death of her husband frees her from his laws as her husband. But we must remember the point of Paul’s words, we cannot be partly under the Law and in Christ Jesus we must be completely
freed from the Law to united to another headship, which, in this case is Jesus Christ.

By having some of the Law and some of Christ Jesus we are style an adulteress, we are either under the headship of the Old Law or under Christ Jesus headship, but not both at the same time. Either the husband, or the wife must die to set the other free of the Laws power over the living one, that is, to be released from their

obligation of the Law to each other in their marriage.

Romans 7:4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

A Christian is under one headship, and that is Christ Jesus headship, we are to obey our master and Lord over any other laws of mans.

We cannot have two headships, we cannot obey two masters, and we cannot be alive in Christ, and under death of the Law. We must be completed joined to Christ Jesus intimately part of his body, as Eve was created by God from Adams rib; so we are created by God to be part of Jesus Christ body. Eve listened to another headship rather than her husbandly owner and was deceived into sin and death.
Christians’ that listen to the headship of the Law will likewise be deceived in to sin and death again; dying twice as it were. Unwittingly, adulterating themselves by adding too
the headship of Christ Jesus.

We have been created by God and placed into the body of Christ Jesus, thus, being placed in Christ Jesus we receive the death of his body; freeing us from the Law. We are now joined to another, we have paid the price of our sins, in the death of Christ Jesus body. Because we are now a part of Christ Jesus as our head or husbandly owner we receive his “righteousness“; not our own. Our old life under God’s Law is “dead” now we can be joined to Christ Jesus as our new head as one spirit; if we separate ourselves and join ourselves to another, in this case, the Law, we are a adulteress adding pollution to the purity of Christ Jesus headship.

Because we are in a honorable God accepted marriage we can produce fruits of God’s Spirit, not illegitimate fruits of the Old Law in self-righteous works.

Although the Old Law tries to seduce us making us unfaithful to
Christ Jesus, we spiritually war with the power of the Old Law and those wheeling it to control and captivate us again to deaths Law it the power of God’s Holy Spirit.

1Cor.11:3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the
head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

2 Corinthians 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty
before God to the throwing down of strongholds.
