A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you^(A) to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,^(B) holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.^[a]

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached this conclusion, that one died for all,^(A) and therefore all died.

²⁴ He himself bore our sins^(A) in his body^(B) on the tree;^(C) so that, having died to sins,^(D) we might live for righteousness.^(E) By his wounds^[a](F) you have been healed.
