¹⁵ See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springs up and causes trouble and through it many become defiled.^(A)

⁴ All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbor’s work, will become a cause for pride.^(A)

²⁰ and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,^[a] who loved me and gave himself for me.^(A)

¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, then the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit^[a] is life because of righteousness.
