- For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
- Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
- For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by his life.
- But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man's trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.
- For just as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
- So that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?
- Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
- For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
- No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
- For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
- What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
- But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life.
- For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- What then should we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”
- There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.
- 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 set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
- To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
- And those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
- If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.
- For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
- For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!”
- It is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
- I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.
- For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God.
