Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were (A)put to death (B)in regard to the Law (C)through the body of Christ, so that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For while we were (D)in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were (E)brought to light by the Law, were at work (F)in [a]the parts of our body to bear fruit for death. But now we have been (G)released from the Law, having (H)died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in (I)newness of (J)the [b]Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
