4 Brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

5 When we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

6 We have been discharged released from the law. We have died to that by which we were held. So we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
