For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Now all things are from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As God is exhorting through us, we beseech you on Christ's behalf, Be reconciled to God.

And you, who once were alienated and hostile in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be nullified, that we should no longer serve sin.

For what the Law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh; and on account of sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can be.

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.

having blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross;

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has been released from sin,

that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh in the lusts of men, but in the will of God.
