Living Sacrifices to God

12 I ^(A)beseech^[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies ^(B)a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your ^[b]reasonable service.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that ^(A)if One died for all, then all died;

^24 (A)who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, ^(B)that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—^(C)by whose ^[a]stripes you were healed.

² that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, ^(A)but for the will of God.
