acc to King James, the Ap. Paul's 'brethren', below, are engaged perhaps 'even married..to him who is raised from the dead' in this cntxt, check out his use of the word 'we', below DavidM re: Rom 7: (4) Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
You are getting closer, Gary. Read the next verse.
Romans 7:5
(5) For when we WERE IN THE FLESH, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Most of the rest of this chapter is describing how the law did work in our members to bring forth this fruit unto death. Please do not ignore this past tense phrase in verse 5, "when we WERE in the flesh..." and notice the rest of the discussion is about how the flesh fought against the knowledge of the law and brought forth condemnation.
Peace be with you.
