IN the simile of the woman and her husband (Ver. 2, 3), it is the husband who dies—not the woman. In our case we die—not the law. "We are dead to the law by the body of Christ." The law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, &c., as we read in 1 Tim. 1:9.
Observe, the law never dies, it is still obligatory, and in force, as to those who are still in the flesh.
