Romans 5:20-6:7

Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ The law came along to multiply the trespass.^(A) But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more^{(B) 21} so that, just as sin reigned in death,^(C) so also grace will reign^(D) through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The New Life in Christ

6 What should we say then?^(E) Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply?^{(F) 2} Absolutely not!^(G) How can we who died to sin^(H) still live in it? ³ Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized^(I) into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?^{(J) 4} Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death,^(K) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead^(L) by the glory of the Father,^(M) so we too may walk in newness^[a] of life.^{(N) 5} For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death,^(O) we will certainly also be^[b] in the likeness of his resurrection. ⁶ For we know that our old self^[c](P) was crucified with him^(Q) so that the body ruled by sin^[d] might be rendered powerless^(R) so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, ⁷ since a person who has died^(S) is freed^[e] from sin.
