but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned—
-
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
-
Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.
-
For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
-
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
-
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
-
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?
-
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
-
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

Present Suffering and Future Glory
I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
-
For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
-
that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
-
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
-
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
-
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies.
-
neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,
-
the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.
-
Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”
-
For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
-
not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
-
For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
-
One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?”
