Audio commentary on this verse
Note 4 at Rom. 7:3: In this comparison, it is clearly understood that a woman who has two husbands would be living in adultery. Likewise, Paul is saying that a Christian who has two natures would be living in adultery. A Christian who does not understand that our old man is dead will constantly feel the guilt of the Old Testament law that bound us to our first husband, the old man.
