Romanos 7

4 Thus ye also, my brethren, are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might be married to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bring forth fruit to God.

5 For when we were in the flesh, sinful passions, which were by the law, wrought in our members, so as to bring forth fruit unto death.

6 But now we are freed from the law, that whereby we were held being dead, so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
