¹⁹ This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you^(A) that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.^(B) Now choose life, so that you and your children may live

²⁰ The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase.^(A) But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,^(B)

¹⁴ For sin shall no longer be your master,^(A) because you are not under the law,^(B) but under grace.^(C)

⁹ Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin,^(A) and the power of sin is the law.^{(B) 57} But thanks be to God!^(C) He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.^(D)

¹⁹ “For through the law I died to the law^(A) so that I might live for God.^{(B) 20} I have been crucified with Christ^(C) and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.^(D) The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,^(E) who loved me^(F) and gave himself for me.^{(G) 21} I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law,^(H) Christ died for nothing!”^[a]
