Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the Law), that the Law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?

Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

Do you not know that we shall judge angels? To say nothing of things that pertain to this life?

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be led astray. Neither prostitutes, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Let it not be!

Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For the two, He says, shall become one flesh.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the altar?

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know, yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you; unless indeed you are ones failing the test?

Adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore purposes to be a friend of the world is shown to be opposing God.

Go therefore and instruct all the nations, immersing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

For by one Spirit we were all immersed into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.

For as many of you as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

There is also an antitype which now saves us; immersion (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Therefore we were buried with Him through immersion into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in resurrection,

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

Otherwise, what will they do who are immersed for the dead, if the dead are not truly raised? Why then are they immersed for the dead?

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died in vain.
