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

³ for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.^{(A) 4} When Christ who is your^[a] life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.^(B)

⁵ Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).^(C)

²⁰ For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.^(A)

² By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?^(A)

¹⁷ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.^(A)

¹³ No longer present your members to sin as instruments^[a] of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments^[b] of righteousness.^(A)

¹⁹ For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ,^{(A) 20} and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,^[a] who loved me and gave himself for me.^(B)

Future Glory

¹⁸ I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.

⁵ like living stones let yourselves be built^[a] into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.^(A)

⁷ so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
