¹⁵ But ^[a]the gracious gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of ^(A)the one ^(B)the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by ^(C)the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many.

⁶ knowing this, that our ^(A)old ^[a]self was ^(B)crucified with Him, in order that our ^(C)body of sin might be ^[b]done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; ⁷ for ^(D)the one who has died is ^[c]freed from sin.

⁸ Now ^(E)if we have died with Christ, we believe that ^(F)we shall also live with Him, ⁹ knowing that Christ, having been ^(G)raised from the dead, ^[d]is never to die again; ^(H)death no longer is master over Him. ¹⁰ For ^[e]the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but ^[f]the life that He lives, He lives to ^[g]God. ¹¹ So you too, consider yourselves to be ^(I)dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Therefore sin is not to ^(J)reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, ¹³ and do not go on ^(K)presenting ^[h]the parts of your body to sin as ^[i]instruments of unrighteousness; but ^(L)present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and ^[j]your body’s parts as ^[k]instruments of righteousness for God. ¹⁴ For ^(M)sin shall not ^(N)be master over you, for ^(O)you are not under ^[l]the Law but ^(P)under grace.

¹⁵ What then? ^(Q)Are we to sin because we are not under ^[m]the Law but under grace? ^[n](R)Far from it! ¹⁶ Do you not ^(S)know that the one to whom you present yourselves as ^(T)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of ^(U)sin ^[o]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[p]resulting in righteousness? ¹⁷ But ^(V)thanks be to God that ^[q]though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that ^[r](W)form of teaching to which you were entrusted, ¹⁸ and after being ^(X)freed from sin, you became slaves to righteousness. ^19 (Y)I am speaking ^[s]in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just ^(Z)as you presented ^[t]the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, ^[u]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present ^[v]your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, ^[w]resulting in sanctification.

²⁰ For ^(AA)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in relation to righteousness. ²¹ Therefore what ^[x](AB)benefit were you then ^[y]deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is ^(AC)death. ²² But now having been ^(AD)freed from sin and ^(AE)enslaved to God, you ^[z]derive your ^[aa](AF)benefit, ^[ab]resulting in sanctification, and ^(AG)the outcome, eternal life. ²³ For the wages of ^(AH)sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is ^(AI)eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ I have been ^(A)crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but ^(B)Christ lives in me; and ^[a]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in ^(C)the Son of God, who ^(D)loved me and ^(E)gave Himself up for me.

³ For you have ^(A)died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
