But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

But{G1161} now{G3570} we are delivered{G2673}{(G5681)} from{G575} the law{G3551}, that being dead{G599}{(G5631)}{(G5625)}{G599}{(G5631)} wherein{G1722}{G3739} we were held{G2722}{(G5712)}; that{G5620} we{G2248} should serve{G1398}{(G5721)} in{G1722} newness{G2538} of spirit{G4151}, and{G2532} not{G3756} in the oldness{G3821} of the letter{G1121}.

Strong's King James

(6) But now we're set aside from The Torah-Law, dead to what we were restrained in so that we serve in newness of ruach-spirit and not in the oldness of the letter (Minutiae details).

The F.O.G*
[6] But now we've been released from the law's power—having died to what once bound us—so we can serve in the new way of the Spirit rather than the old way of written regulations.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
