“ For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.

For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law— I stopped trying to meet all its requirements— so that I might live for God.

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live for God.

For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live for God.

For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God.

For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.

For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

For through the law I died to the law so that I may live to God.

For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God.

In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead as far as sin is concerned. Now you believe in Christ Jesus. So consider yourselves to be alive as far as God is concerned.

My brothers and sisters, when Christ died you also died as far as the law is concerned. Then it became possible for you to belong to him. He was raised from the dead. Now our lives can be useful to God.

Not at all! As far as sin is concerned, we are dead. So how can we keep on sinning?

What the law says, it says to those who are ruled by the law. Its purpose is to shut every mouth and make the whole world accountable to God.So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.

But now we have died to what used to control us. We have been set free from the law. Now we serve in the new way of the Holy Spirit. We no longer serve in the old way of the written law.What should we say then? That the law is sinful? Not at all! Yet I wouldn’t have known what sin was unless the law had told me. The law says,“ Do not want what belongs to other people.”( Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21) If the law hadn’t said that, I would not have known what it was like to want what belongs to others.But the commandment gave sin an opportunity. Sin caused me to want all kinds of things that belong to others. A person can’t sin by breaking a law if that law doesn’t exist.Before I knew about the law, I was alive. But then the commandment came. Sin came to life, and I died.I found that the commandment that was supposed to bring life actually brought death.When the commandment gave sin the opportunity, sin tricked me. It used the commandment to put me to death.

We don’t live for ourselves only. And we don’t die for ourselves only.If we live, we live to honor the Lord. If we die, we die to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Christ died for everyone. He died so that those who live should not live for themselves anymore. They should live for Christ. He died for them and was raised again.

Jesus died for us. Some will be alive when he comes. Others will be dead. Either way, we will live together with him.

But Christ offered himself to God without any flaw. He did this through the power of the eternal Holy Spirit. So how much cleaner will the blood of Christ make us! It washes away our feelings of guilt for committing sin. Sin always leads to death. But now we can serve the living God.

Christ has fulfilled everything the law was meant to do. So now everyone who believes can be right with God.Moses writes about how the law could help a person do what God requires. He writes,“ The person who does these things will live by them.”( Leviticus 18:5)

Some people still follow the basic spiritual powers of the world. But you died with Christ as far as these powers are concerned. So why do you act as if you still belong to the world? Here are the rules you follow.

I have been crucified with Christ. I don’t live any longer, but Christ lives in me. Now I live my life in my body by faith in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me.

So the law was put in charge of us until Christ came. He came so that we might be made right with God by believing in Christ.

Sin will no longer control you like a master. That’s because the law does not rule you. God’s grace has set you free.

He gave himself for us. By doing that, he set us free from all evil. He wanted to make us pure. He wanted us to be his very own people. He wanted us to desire to do what is good.

“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

Christ suffered in his body. So prepare yourselves to think in the same way Christ did. Do this because whoever suffers in their body is finished with sin.As a result, they don’t live the rest of their earthly life for evil human desires. Instead, they live to do what God wants.

We know that the law is holy. But I am not. I have been sold to be a slave of sin.

Deep inside me I find joy in God’s law.But I see another law working in me. It fights against the law of my mind. It makes me a prisoner of the law of sin. That law controls me.

Because of what Christ Jesus has done, you are free. You are now controlled by the law of the Holy Spirit who gives you life. The law of the Spirit frees you from the law of sin that brings death.

The law was given so that sin would increase. But where sin increased, God’s grace increased even more.

That’s why the good news was preached even to people who are now dead. It was preached to them for two reasons. It was preached so that their bodies might be judged. This judgment is made by human standards. But the good news was also preached so that their spirits might live. This life comes by means of God’s power.

So eat and drink and do everything else for the glory of God.

You died. Now your life is hidden with Christ in God.

All who depend on obeying the law are under a curse. It is written,“ May everyone who doesn’t continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law be under God’s curse.”( Deuteronomy 27:26)

The law brings God’s anger. Where there is no law, the law can’t be broken.
