Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts and passions.

And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

For if their [present] rejection [of salvation] is for the reconciliation of the world [to God], what will their acceptance [of salvation] be but [nothing less than] life from the dead?

since all have sinned and continually fall short of the glory of God,

For the Lord will execute His word upon the earth [He will conclude His dealings with mankind] completely and without delay.”

For Christ died and lived again for this reason, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living.
