Romans 7:6 παλαιότητι in oldness

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.

Here: "Oldness" in the sense of what belongs to the age now passing away. It echoes "our old self" (ho palaios anthrōpos) in 6:6. The word occurs only here in the New Testament.
