No one in this house is greater than I. He has kept nothing back from me except you. You are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?

I get understanding from your precepts. Therefore I hate every false way.

Whoever is born of God does not practice sin! His seed abides in him and he cannot sin because he has been born of God.

Dead

If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection.

We also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation (restoration) (atonement) (divine favor).

Brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

I, through the law, died to the law that I might live to (for) God.

Never should I boast except in the stake (symbolic: self-denial and atonement) of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is through this stake that the world has been impaled to me, and I to the world.

For you died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

He bore our sins in his body upon the stake, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed because of his wounds (stripes).

Live

For the love of Christ compels us to judge, that one died for all and therefore all died.

Live as children of obedience. Do not fashion yourself according to your former lusts, for you were ignorant at that time.

Since Christ suffered physically for us, you too must strengthen yourselves with the same way of thinking that he had. Whoever suffers physically has ceased from sin.

General references

The people replied: We would never leave Jehovah to serve other gods!

But you did not learn Christ that way.
