^9 (A)Do not lie to one another, seeing that ^(B)you have put off ^(C)the old self^[a] with its practices ¹⁰ and ^(D)have put on ^(E)the new self, ^(F)which is being renewed in knowledge ^(G)after the image of ^(H)its creator.

¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is ^(A)in Christ, he is ^(B)a new creation.^{[a] (C)}The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

⁶ We know that ^(A)our old self^{[a] (B)}was crucified with him in order that ^(C)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. ⁷ For ^(D)one who has died ^(E)has been set free^[b] from sin. ⁸ Now ^(F)if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ We know that ^(G)Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; ^(H)death no longer has dominion over him. ¹⁰ For the death he died he died to sin, ^(I)once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.

¹⁵ For I do not understand my own actions. For ^(A)I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. ¹⁶ Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with ^(B)the law, that it is good. ¹⁷ So now ^(C)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. ¹⁸ For I know that nothing good dwells ^(D)in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. ^19 (E)For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. ²⁰ Now if I do what I do not want, ^(F)it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.
