Where else does Paul use the marriage relationship analogy?
Paul also uses the marriage relationship analogy in Romans chapter 7, where he employs it more than once. Specifically, he says to the Romans in Romans 7:4, using that same marriage imagery just as he did with the Corinthians.
Les explains that when Paul teaches Christ is the groom and the bride, that marriage relationship is positional, not sexual, because those things are going to pass off the scene. Then he directs us back to Romans chapter 7, where Paul uses that marriage relationship analogy more than once. Just as he does with the Corinthians, Paul also says to the Romans in chapter 7, verse 4.
Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
