For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. |

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. | There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. |
| For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. | For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. |
| For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. | For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. |
