⁶ “Blessed are ^(A)those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

¹⁶ Do you not ^(A)know that the one to whom you present yourselves as ^(B)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of that same one whom you obey, either of ^(C)sin ^[a]resulting in death, or of obedience ^[b]resulting in righteousness?

^19 (A)I am speaking ^[a]in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just ^(B)as you presented ^[b]the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, ^[c]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present ^[d]your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, ^[e]resulting in sanctification.
