Paul continues his argument with exhortations that naturally follow what he has previously asserted about our union with Christ and the new life that is ours through faith. In light of that new reality there is something we are not to do any longer and there is now something new we are to do. Living out these exhortations, both negative and positive, will not come easy. But as those who now live under grace, we are called to lean into this new life, fighting the fight of faith.
