³ Many peoples^(A) will come and say,

⁹ But you are a chosen people,^(A) a royal priesthood,^(B) a holy nation,^(C) God’s special possession,^(D) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.^(E)

²¹ To those not having the law I became like one not having the law^(A) (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law),^(B) so as to win those not having the law.

² Many nations will come and say,

² because through Christ Jesus^(A) the law of the Spirit who gives life^(B) has set you^[a] free^(C) from the law of sin^(D) and death. ³ For what the law was powerless^(E) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,^[b](F) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh^(G) to be a sin offering.^[c](H) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ in order that the righteous requirement^(I) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.^(J)

⁸ When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹ about sin,^(A) because people do not believe in me; ¹⁰ about righteousness,^(B) because I am going to the Father,^(C) where you can see me no longer; ¹¹ and about judgment, because the prince of this world^(D) now stands condemned.
