They will face a reckoning before<n id="1" /> Jesus Christ<n id="2" /> who stands ready to judge the living and the dead.

So you too consider yourselves<n id="1" /> dead to sin, but<n id="2" /> alive to God in Christ Jesus.p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

and do not present your members to sin as instruments<n id="1" /> to be used for unrighteousness,<n id="2" /> but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments<n id="3" /> to be used for righteousness.
