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

¹ What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more? ² God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it? ³ Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? ⁴ We then by this baptism into his death were buried with him; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. ⁵ For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also; ⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin; ⁷ for he that hath died hath been set free from sin. ⁸ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; ⁹ since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer. ¹⁰ For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God. ¹¹ Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.

¹² Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts, ¹³ nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness. ¹⁴ For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.
