Romans 5:17-21
New International Version
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death(A) 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(B) through the one man, Jesus Christ!
18 Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people,(C) so also one righteous act resulted in justification(D) and life(E) for all people. 19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man(F) the many were made sinners,(G) so also through the obedience(H) of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20 The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.(I) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,(J) 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death,(K) so also grace(L) might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life(M) through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:16-20
New International Version
16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey(A)—whether you are slaves to sin,(B) which leads to death,(C) or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God(D) that, though you used to be slaves to sin,(E) you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching(F) that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin(G) and have become slaves to righteousness.(H)
19 I am using an example from everyday life(I) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(J) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(K) you were free from the control of righteousness.(L)

11 Do not cast me(C) from your presence(D)
or take your Holy Spirit(E) from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation(F)
and grant me a willing spirit,(G) to sustain me.(H)
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,(I)
so that sinners(J) will turn back to you.(K)
14 Deliver me(L) from the guilt of bloodshed,(M) O God,
you who are God my Savior,(N)
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.(O)
15 Open my lips, Lord,(P)
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice,(Q) or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice,(R) O God, is[a] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart(S)
you, God, will not despise.
