²⁷ Only ^(A)let your manner of life be ^(B)worthy^[a] of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you ^(C)that you are standing firm in one spirit, with ^(D)one mind ^(E)striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

²² But now that you ^(A)have been set free from sin and ^(B)have become slaves of God, ^(C)the fruit you get leads to sanctification and ^(D)its end, eternal life. ^23 (E)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Christ Has Set Us Free

5 For ^(A)freedom Christ has ^(B)set us free; ^(C)stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to ^(D)a yoke of ^(E)slavery.
