7:2-3 These verses are not an allegory, in which every element of the story has a theological counterpart. Paul simply cites an illustration to make two basic points: Death can release a person from obligation to the law, and freedom from one relationship can allow a person to establish a new one. Paul applies the illustration in 7:4.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
ἄρα οὖν
consequently therefore
See how you translated this phrase in 5:18.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς, μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει, ἐὰν γένηται ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ
living her husband /an/_adulteress ˱he˲_/will_be/_calling_‹her› if ˱she˲_/may/_become_‹joined› ˱to˲_man another
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: “if she becomes married to another husband, the first husband being alive”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous
ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς
living her husband
In this clause Paul is describing something that was occurring during the same time period as what he describes in the next clause. You can make this clear in your translation with an appropriate connecting word or phrase. Alternate translation: “at the same time that the husband is alive”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
τοῦ ἀνδρὸς & ὁ ἀνήρ
her husband & the husband
See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει
/an/_adulteress ˱he˲_/will_be/_calling_‹her›
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the law will title her an adulteress”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου
free ˱she˲_is from the law
Here Paul speaks of the law as if it were an object or person someone could be freed from. Paul means that the law that prohibited a woman from marrying another husband did not apply if her first husband died. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase “she has been released from the law” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “she is no longer required to remain married to the first husband”
