The Law has dominion over a man. Paul made an analogy to marriage to demonstrate how Law and grace work in human beings.

He explained that be law, when a woman married, she belonged to her husband and if she left him for another man she wold be committing adultery, (Lev.20.10),.

this was considered a sin by the Law, and she would pay for her unfaithfulness with her own life.

However, if her husband passed away, by Law, she would be free to remarry (1 Cor. 7.39). Likewise, when a person surrenders to the Lord Jesus and dies to sin, they are no longer under the rule of he Law but are justified by His Blood.

From then on, they will live without the yoke that condemned them to eternal death and will walk in newness of life.
