20 Now (A)the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, (B)grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, (C)as sin reigned in death, (D)grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

What shall we say then? (E)Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can (F)we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us (G)who have been baptized (H)into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were (I)buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as (J)Christ was raised from the dead by (K)the glory of the Father, we too might walk in (L)newness of life.

For (M)if we have been united with him in (N)a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that (O)our old self[a] (P)was crucified with him in order that (Q)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
