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

¹ What, then, shall we say? Shall we persist in sin, that grace may abound? ² It could not be! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer therein? ³ Or are ye ignorant, that all we who were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into His death? ⁴ We were buried, therefore, with Him through the immersion into death; that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. ⁵ For, if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection; ⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be brought to nought, that we should no more be in bondage to sin; ⁷ for he that died has been justified from sin. ⁸ But, if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him; ⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death no more has dominion over Him. ¹⁰ For the death that He died, He died to Sin once for all; but the life that He liveth He liveth to God. ¹¹ Even so reckon ye also yourselves dead, indeed, to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey its desires; ¹³ neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness. ¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under law, but under grace.
