If you died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances:












If you died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances:

If Christ is with you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit is life on account of righteousness. If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from among the dead dwells with you, he who raised Christ from among the dead shall also make your mortal bodies alive. This is on account of his Spirit that dwells with you.

God forbid. We died to sin! How could we any longer live in it? Or are you ignorant to the fact that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death. Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, that we might walk in the newness of life. read more.
If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection. We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin. He who has died is freed from sin. If we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. We know that Christ being raised from the dead died no more; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died with reference to sin once. But the life that he lives, he lives to God. Consider yourselves to be dead with reference to sin, but alive with reference to God through Christ Jesus.

Do you not know, for I speak to men who know the law, that the law has dominion (jurisdiction) over a man as long as he lives? Law binds the married woman to her husband while he lives. But if the husband dies, she is discharged from the law of the husband. So then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she will be called an adulteress. If the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she is joined to another man. read more.
Brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God. When we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death. We have been discharged (released) from the law. We have died to that by which we were held. So we serve in newness of the Spirit, and not in oldness of the letter. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid! I had not known sin except through the law. For I had not known coveting except the law had said: You should not covet. But sin, finding occasion, worked out in me through the commandment all manner of coveting. Apart from the law sin is dead. I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. The commandment, which was to life, this I found to be to death.


If you died with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to ordinances:



Those who live through (in union with) (because of) Jesus Christ have no condemnation. [They do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.] The law of the Spirit gives us life through (with) (because of) Christ Jesus. It has set me free from the law of sin and death.

May your loving kindnesses also come to me, O Jehovah, your salvation according to your promise. I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word. Do not take the word of truth completely out of my mouth, for I wait for your ordinances. read more.
So I will keep your law continually, forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for I seek your precepts.


What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. We died to sin! How could we any longer live in it? Or are you ignorant to the fact that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? read more.
We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death. Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, that we might walk in the newness of life. If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection. We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin. He who has died is freed from sin.

He who is called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freeman. Likewise also he who is called, being free, is Christ's slave. You are bought with a price. Stop being slaves of men.

Also do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. Present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness for God. Sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
