Commentary on Romans 7:3

Theological / Devotional

Called. Gr. chrematizo, which may suggest that the woman is formally named or regarded as an adulteress. Thus she would be subject to the most severe punishment under OT law (see Lev. 20:10).

That law. That is, the law of her husband (see on v. 2).
