¹⁵ But ^[a]the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression 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, abound 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)he who has died is ^[c]freed from sin.

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

¹² Therefore do not let sin ^(I)reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, ¹³ and do not go on ^(J)presenting ^[e]the members of your body to sin as ^[f]instruments of unrighteousness; but ^(K)present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as ^[g]instruments of righteousness to God. ¹⁴ For ^(L)sin shall not ^(M)be master over you, for ^(N)you are not under law but ^(O)under grace.

¹⁵ What then? ^(P)Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? ^(Q)May it never be! ¹⁶ Do you not ^(R)know that when you present yourselves to someone as ^(S)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of ^(T)sin ^[h]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[i]resulting in righteousness? ¹⁷ But ^(U)thanks be to God that ^[j]though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that ^(V)form of teaching to which you were committed, ¹⁸ and having been ^(W)freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. ^19 (X)I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just ^(Y)as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, ^[k]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, ^[l]resulting in sanctification.

²⁰ For ^(Z)when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. ²¹ Therefore what ^[m](AA)benefit were you then ^[n]deriving ^[o]from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is ^(AB)death. ²² But now having been ^(AC)freed from sin and ^(AD)enslaved to God, you ^[p]derive your ^[q](AE)benefit, ^[r]resulting in sanctification, and ^(AF)the outcome, eternal life. ²³ For the wages of ^(AG)sin is death, but the free gift of God is ^(AH)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.
