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

¹ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that there may be abundance of grace? ² God forbid. How shall we that are dead, as touching sin, live any longer therein? ³ Remember ye not, that all we which are baptised in the name of Christ Jesus, are baptised to die with him? ⁴ We are buried with him by baptism for to die: That likewise as Christ was raised up from death by the glory of the father: even so we also should walk in a new life. ⁵ For if we be graft in death like unto him: even so must we be in the resurrection. ⁶ This we must remember, that our old man is crucified with him also, that the body of sin might utterly be destroyed; that henceforth we should not be servants of sin. ⁷ For he that is dead, is justified from sin. ⁸ Wherefore if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live with him: ⁹ remembering that Christ, once raised from death, dieth no more. Death hath no more power over him. ¹⁰ For as touching that he died, he died as concerning sin once. And as touching that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ¹¹ Likewise, imagine ye also, that ye are dead concerning sin: but are alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹² Let not sin reign therefore in your mortal bodies, that ye should thereunto obey in the lusts of it. ¹³ Neither give ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: But give yourselves unto God, as they that are alive from death. And give your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. ¹⁴ Let not sin have power over you. For ye are not under the law, but under grace.
