³² and although they know the righteous requirement of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of ^(A)death, they not only do the same, but also ^(B)give hearty approval to those who practice them.

The Gift of Righteousness in Christ

¹² Therefore, just as through ^(A)one man sin entered into the world, and ^(B)death through sin, and ^(C)so death spread to all men, because all sinned—

¹⁶ Do you not ^(A)know that when you go on presenting yourselves to someone as ^(B)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of ^(C)sin ^[a]leading to death, or of obedience ^[b]leading to righteousness?

²³ For the wages of ^(A)sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is ^(B)eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

^6 (A)For the mind set on the flesh is ^(B)death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

¹³ for ^(A)if you are living according to the flesh, you ^[a]must die, but if by the Spirit you are ^(B)putting to death the ^(C)practices of the body, you will live.

^8 (A)For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap ^(B)corruption, but ^(C)the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
