Romans 7:3

Nếu lấy người khác khi chồng còn sống, là phạm tội ngoại tình. Nhưng khi chồng chết, nàng có quyền lấy chồng khác và luật pháp không còn ràng buộc hay lên án.

Điều này có nghĩa gì?

This verse from Paul's letter to the Romans explains that if a woman marries another man while her first husband is still alive, she is considered an adulteress. However, if her husband dies and she then remarries, she is not considered an adulteress because she is free from the law of marriage to her deceased husband.

Imagine you have a favorite toy that belongs to your friend. If your friend gives it back to you when they don't want it anymore, it's okay for you to play with it again. But if they still have it and didn’t give it back, taking it would be wrong. This verse is like that, but about marriage.
