⁵ For ^(A)there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man^[a] Christ Jesus,

⁷ For ^(A)none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. ⁸ For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, ^(B)whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ ^(C)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both ^(D)of the dead and of the living.

¹² So then ^(A)each of us will give an account of himself to God.
