⁶ We know that ^(A)our old self^{[a] (B)}was crucified with him in order that ^(C)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. ⁷ For ^(D)one who has died ^(E)has been set free^[b] from sin. ⁸ Now ^(F)if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ We know that ^(G)Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; ^(H)death no longer has dominion over him. ¹⁰ For the death he died he died to sin, ^(I)once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. ¹¹ So you also must consider yourselves ^(J)dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Let not ^(K)sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. ^13 (L)Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but ^(M)present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. ¹⁴ For ^(N)sin ^(O)will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

¹³ For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you ^(A)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

¹² Therefore, my beloved, ^(A)as you have always ^(B)obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, ¹³ for ^(C)it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for ^(D)his good pleasure.
