Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.
