^19 (A)I am speaking ^[a]in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just ^(B)as you presented ^[b]the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, ^[c]resulting in further lawlessness, so now present ^[d]your body’s parts as slaves to righteousness, ^[e]resulting in sanctification.

⁸ I am not just asserting these things ^(A)according to human judgment, am I? Or does the Law not say these things as well?

³² If ^[a]from human motives I ^(A)fought with wild beasts at ^(B)Ephesus, what good is it to me? If the dead are not raised, ^(C)let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.

Intent of the Law

^15 (A)Brothers and sisters, ^(B)I speak ^[a]in terms of human relations: ^(C)even though it is only a man’s ^[b]covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds ^[c]conditions to it.
