Exegesis
A second conditional clause appears with ean de apothanē ho anēr {ἐάν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ | e-an dé a-po-thánē ho a-nḗr} ‘but if the husband dies’, leading to the declarative eleuthera estin apo tou nomou {ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου | e-leu-thé-ra es-tín a-pó toû nó-mou} ‘she is free from the law,’ which denotes her changed legal status.
In context — Romans 7:3
So then, while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress if she is joined to another man; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law , so that she is not an adulteress, having become another man’s wife.
