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

²¹ He made Him who ^(A)knew no sin to be ^[a](B)sin in our behalf, so that we might become the ^(C)righteousness of God in Him.

^8 (A)If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the ^(B)truth is not in us. ^9 (C)If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and ^(D)cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

³⁸ For I am convinced that neither ^(A)death, nor life, nor ^(B)angels, nor principalities, nor ^(C)things present, nor things to come, nor powers, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from ^(D)the love of God that is ^(E)in Christ Jesus our Lord.
