²⁸ Be on guard for yourselves and for all ^(A)the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you ^[a]overseers, to shepherd ^(B)the church of God which ^(C)He ^[b]purchased ^[c]with His own blood.

⁷ For not one of us ^(A)lives for himself, and not one dies for himself; ⁸ for if we live, we live for the Lord, or if we die, we die for the Lord; therefore ^(B)whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. ⁹ For to this end ^(C)Christ died and lived again, that He might be ^(D)Lord both of the dead and of the living.

²⁰ For ^(A)you have been bought for a price: therefore glorify God in ^(B)your body.

^23 (A)You were bought for a price; do not become slaves of people.
