Love and Joy Perfected

⁹ “As the Father ^(A)loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. ^10 (B)If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

¹¹ Likewise you also, ^[a]reckon yourselves to be ^(A)dead indeed to sin, but ^(B)alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

^12 (C)Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. ¹³ And do not present your ^(D)members as ^[b]instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but ^(E)present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. ¹⁴ For ^(F)sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
