To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

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

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—

yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.
