Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?

So let it be with you-regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.

The wages of Sin are Death, but the gift of God is Immortal Life, through union with Christ Jesus, our Lord.

There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;

For through your union with Christ Jesus, the Law of the life- giving Spirit has set you free from the Law of Sin and Death.

I am speaking the truth as one in union with Christ; it is no lie; and my conscience, enlightened by the Holy Spirit,

For, just as in the human body there is a union of many parts, and each part has its own function,

So we, by our union in Christ, many though we are, form but one body, and individually we are related one to another as its parts.

Through my union with the Lord Jesus, I know and am persuaded that nothing is 'defiling in itself.' A thing is 'defiling' only to him who holds it to be so.

It is, then, through my union with Christ Jesus that I have a proud confidence in my work for God.
