²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ,^(A) and each one of you is a part of it.^(B)

¹² Therefore do not let sin reign^(A) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,^(B) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.^(C)

⁵ so in Christ we, though many, form one body,^(A) and each member belongs to all the others.

³⁰ for we are members of his body.^(A)
