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

²¹ God made him who had no sin^(A) to be sin^[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.^(B)

⁶ For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead,^(A) so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once^(A) for sins,^(B) the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.^(C) He was put to death in the body^(D) but made alive in the Spirit.^(E)

¹⁵ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves^(A) but for him who died for them^(B) and was raised again.

²⁶ Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world.^(A) But he has appeared^(B) once for all^(C) at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.^{(D) 27} Just as people are destined to die once,^(E) and after that to face judgment,^{(F) 28} so Christ was sacrificed once^(G) to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time,^(H) not to bear sin,^(I) but to bring salvation^(J) to those who are waiting for him.^(K)

⁷ For none of us lives for ourselves alone,^(A) and none of us dies for ourselves alone. ⁸ If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.^{(B) 9} For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life^(C) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.^(D)

³ For what the law was powerless^(A) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,^[a](B) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh^(C) to be a sin offering.^[b](D) And so he condemned sin in the flesh,

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