¹⁰ For the death he died he died to sin, ^(A)once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.

^21 (A)For our sake he made him to be sin ^(B)who knew no sin, so that in him we might become ^(C)the righteousness of God.

⁶ For this is why ^(A)the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.

¹⁸ For Christ also ^(A)suffered^{[a] (B)}once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, ^(C)that he might bring us to God, being put to death ^(D)in the flesh but made alive ^(E)in the spirit,

¹⁵ and he died for all, ^(A)that those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^(B)for him who for their sake died and was raised.

²⁶ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, ^(A)he has appeared ^(B)once for all ^(C)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And just as ^(D)it is appointed for man to die once, and ^(E)after that comes judgment, ²⁸ so Christ, having been offered once ^(F)to bear the sins of ^(G)many, will appear ^(H)a second time, ^(I)not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly ^(J)waiting for him.

⁷ For ^(A)none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. ⁸ For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, ^(B)whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ ^(C)died and lived again, that he might be Lord both ^(D)of the dead and of the living.

³ For ^(A)God has done what the law, ^(B)weakened by the flesh, ^(C)could not do. ^(D)By sending his own Son ^(E)in the likeness of sinful flesh and ^(F)for sin,^[a] he condemned sin in the flesh,

¹¹ So you also must consider yourselves ^(A)dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
