So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
