³² And now ^(A)I commend you to God and to ^(B)the word of his grace, which is able to ^(C)build you up and to give you ^(D)the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

⁵ For ^(A)if we have been united with him in ^(B)a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. ⁶ We know that ^(C)our old self^{[a] (D)}was crucified with him in order that ^(E)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

^17 (A)Sanctify them^[a] in the truth; ^(B)your word is truth.

¹⁶ that according to ^(A)the riches of his glory ^(B)he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit ^(C)in your inner being, ^17 (D)so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being ^(E)rooted and ^(F)grounded in love, ¹⁸ may have strength to ^(G)comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and ^(H)height and depth, ¹⁹ and to know the love of Christ ^(I)that surpasses knowledge, that ^(J)you may be filled with all ^(K)the fullness of God.

²¹ but ^(A)test everything; hold fast what is good. ²² Abstain from every form of evil.

²³ Now may ^(B)the God of peace himself ^(C)sanctify you completely, and may your ^(D)whole ^(E)spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at ^(F)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁴ For ^(A)sin ^(B)will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

²⁴ And those who belong to Christ Jesus ^(A)have crucified the flesh with its ^(B)passions and desires.

^11 (A)being strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for ^(B)all endurance and patience ^(C)with joy;

7 Since we have these promises, beloved, ^(A)let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body^[a] and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
