^13 (A)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God ^(B)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, ¹⁴ by ^(C)canceling ^(D)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

The Ten Commandments

20 ^(A)And ^(B)God spoke all these words, saying,

^2 (C)“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

^3 (D)“You shall have no other gods before^[a] me.

^4 (E)“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. ^5 (F)You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am ^(G)a jealous God, ^(H)visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, ⁶ but showing steadfast love to thousands^[b] of those who love me and keep my commandments.

^7 (I)“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

^8 (J)“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ^9 (K)Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the ^(L)seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the ^(M)sojourner who is within your gates. ¹¹ For ^(N)in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

^12 (O)“Honor your father and your mother, ^(P)that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

^13 (Q)“You shall not murder.^[c]

^14 (R)“You shall not commit adultery.

^15 (S)“You shall not steal.

^16 (T)“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

^17 (U)“You shall not covet ^(V)your neighbor's house; ^(W)you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”

²³ for ^(A)all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

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. ⁷ For ^(F)one who has died ^(G)has been set free^[b] from sin. ⁸ Now ^(H)if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ We know that ^(I)Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; ^(J)death no longer has dominion over him. ¹⁰ For the death he died he died to sin, ^(K)once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. ¹¹ So you also must consider yourselves ^(L)dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁷ And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and ^(A)you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Then those also who ^(B)have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in Christ we have hope^[a] in this life only, ^(C)we are of all people most to be pitied.

²⁰ But in fact ^(D)Christ has been raised from the dead, ^(E)the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. ²¹ For as ^(F)by a man came death, ^(G)by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For ^(H)as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.

⁴ But^[a] God, being ^(A)rich in mercy, ^(B)because of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even ^(C)when we were dead in our trespasses, ^(D)made us alive together with Christ—^(E)by grace you have been saved—
