20 I am impaled* along with Christ.+ It is no longer I that live,+ but it is Christ that is living in union with me.+ Indeed, the life that I now live+ in flesh I live by the faith that is toward the Son of God, who loved me and handed himself over for me.+

6 In fact, for this purpose the good news was declared also to the dead,+ that they might be judged as to the flesh from the standpoint of men+ but might live as to the spirit+ from the standpoint of God.
