If along with Christ you are dead from the elements of the world, why are you dogmatized as living in the world,
Verse Concepts
But if Christ is in you, the body is dead so far as sin is concerned; but the Spirit is life so far as righteousness is concerned. But if the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one having raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also create life in your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who dwells in you.
It could not be so. How shall we, who are dead unto sin, live any longer in it? Whether do you not know, that so many of us as were baptized unto Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death: in order that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so must we also walk in newness of life. read more.
For if we have grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified along with him, in order that the body of sin may be destroyed, that we may no longer serve sin; for the one having died has been made free from sin. But if we died along with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him: knowing that Christ having risen from the dead dies no more; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he lives, he lives unto God. So you also thus reckon yourselves dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ.

Whether are you ignorant, O brethren, for I speak to those knowing the law, for the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he may live? For a woman who is under her husband has been given to her husband by the law so long as he lives; but if the husband may die, she is free from the law of the husband. Then if she may be married to another man, her husband still living, she will be designated an adulteress: but if her husband may die, she is free from the law; and is no adulteress, though she is married to another man. read more.
So, my brethren, ye are dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye should be married to another, to him who is risen from the dead, in order that we may bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in carnality, the emotions of sins, which were through the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead. But I was alive at one time without law: but the commandment having come, sin revived, and I died; and the commandment, which was unto life, the same was unto death.
