“So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and took part in his death. And just as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father, so we can now live a new life.
Christ died, and we have been joined with him by dying too. So we will also be joined with him by rising from death as he did.”

“So do you think we should continue sinning so that God will give us more and more grace?
Of course not! Our old sinful life ended. It’s dead. So how can we continue living in sin?
Did you forget that all of us became part of Christ Jesus when we were baptized? In our baptism we shared in his death.”

“The law was brought in so that more people would sin the way Adam did. But where sin increased, there was even more of God’s grace.
Sin once used death to rule us. But God gave us more of his grace so that grace could rule by making us right with him. And this brings us eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

“So that one sin of Adam brought the punishment of death to all people. But in the same way, Christ did something so good that it makes all people right with God. And that brings them true life.
One man disobeyed God and many became sinners. But in the same way, one man obeyed God and many will be made right.”

“But God’s free gift is not like Adam’s sin. Many people died because of the sin of that one man. But the grace that people received from God was much greater. Many received God’s gift of life by the grace of this other man, Jesus Christ.
After Adam sinned once, he was judged guilty. But the gift of God is different. His free gift came after many sins, and it makes people right with him.”

“We have been made right with God by the blood sacrifice of Christ. So through Christ we will surely be saved from God’s anger.
I mean that while we were God’s enemies, he made friends with us through his Son’s death. And the fact that we are now God’s friends makes it even more certain that he will save us through his Son’s life.
And not only will we be saved, but we also rejoice right now in what God has done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is because of Jesus that we are now God’s friends.”

“Christ died for us when we were unable to help ourselves. We were living against God, but at just the right time Christ died for us.
Very few people will die to save the life of someone else, even if it is for a good person. Someone might be willing to die for an especially good person.
But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us.”
