⁴ Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death^(A) in relation to the law^(B) through the body of Christ^(C) so that you may belong to another. You belong to him who was raised from the dead in order that we may bear fruit for God.

⁶ But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the newness of the Spirit^(A) and not in the old letter of the law.

¹⁹ For through the law I died to the law,^(A) so that I might live for God.^(B)

²⁰ If you died with Christ^(A) to the elements of this world, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations:

³ For you died,^(A) and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

²⁴ He himself bore our sins^(A) in his body^(B) on the tree;^(C) so that, having died to sins,^(D) we might live for righteousness.^(E) By his wounds^[a](F) you have been healed.
