^24 (A)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, ^(B)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—^(C)by whose ^[a]stripes you were healed.

¹⁷ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

^2 (A)In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was ^(B)the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were ^(C)for the healing of the nations.

¹¹ Likewise you also, ^[a]reckon yourselves to be ^(A)dead indeed to sin, but ^(B)alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

^29 (A)If you know that He is righteous, you know that ^(B)everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

^16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. ^(A)The effective, ^[b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

²⁸ so ^(A)Christ was ^(B)offered once to bear the sins ^(C)of many. To those who ^(D)eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

² Certainly not! How shall we who ^(A)died to sin live any longer in it?
