¹² Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.^(A)

¹⁴ For sin shall no longer be your master,^(A) because you are not under the law,^(B) but under grace.^(C)

¹⁸ You have been set free from sin^(A) and have become slaves to righteousness.^(B)

⁴ So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law^(A) through the body of Christ,^(B) that you might belong to another,^(C) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
