Christ’s Example to Be Followed

Therefore, since Christ suffered [a]for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, (A)but for the will of God.

Living for God

Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body,(A) arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.(B) As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires,(C) but rather for the will of God.

Or do you not know that (A)as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus (B)were baptized into His death? Therefore we were (C)buried with Him through baptism into death, that (D)just as Christ was raised from the dead by (E)the glory of the Father, (F)even so we also should walk in newness of life.

(G)For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that (H)our old man was crucified with Him, that (I)the body of sin might be [a]done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For (J)he who has died has been [b]freed from sin. Now (K)if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that (L)Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, (M)He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, (N)He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, [c]reckon yourselves to be (O)dead indeed to sin, but (P)alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized(A) into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death(B) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead(C) through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.(D)

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.(E) For we know that our old self(F) was crucified with him(G) so that the body ruled by sin(H) might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin(I) because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.(J)

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.(K) For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,(L) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.(M) 10 The death he died, he died to sin(N) once for all;(O) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin(P) but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
