Certainly you understand. Paul uses an illustration from human life to show that the Christian is dead to the Law. Luther says: "When a husband dies, his wife, too, becomes free, and each is released from the other. Not in this sense, that the woman is not to take another husband, but rather in this sense, that she is now truly free to take another, which she could not do before she became released from her former husband." Only as long as he lives. Death released a man from the authority of the Law.
