⁸ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.^{(A) 9} For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,^(B) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.^{(C) 10} The death he died, he died to sin^(D) once for all;^(E) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin^(F) but alive to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore do not let sin reign^(G) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. ¹³ Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,^(H) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.^{(I) 14} For sin shall no longer be your master,^(J) because you are not under the law,^(K) but under grace.^(L)
