¹¹ So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

³ For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ And when Christ, who is your^[a] life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

⁵ So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

²⁰ for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

² Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?

¹⁷ And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
