Romans 6:1-14 - Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹ What will we say then? We continue in sin so that grace may abound? ² May it not happen! How will we who died to sin, still live in it? ³ Or are ye ignorant that as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into his death? ⁴ We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life. ⁵ For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death, then we will also be of the resurrection. ⁶ Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be inactivated, no longer to enslave us to sin. ⁷ For he who has died has been made righteous away from sin. ⁸ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him, ⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him. ¹⁰ For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God. ¹¹ So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body in order to obey it, in its lusts. ¹³ And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God, ¹⁴ for sin will not have dominion over you. For ye are not under law, but under grace.
