¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey^[a] its desires. ¹³ And do not offer any parts^[b] of it to sin^(A) as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God,^(B) and all the parts^[c] of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. ¹⁴ For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law^(C) but under grace.^(D)

⁸ For you are saved by grace^(A) through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— ⁹ not from works, so that no one can boast. ¹⁰ For we are His creation, created^(B) in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time^(C) so that we should walk in them.
