So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ

For this reason the gospel was also preached to those who are now dead, so that, although they might be judged by men in the fleshly realm, they might live by God in the spiritual realm.

Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.

Since we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit.

We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.

And you were dead in your trespasses and sins

And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive with Him and forgave us all our trespasses.

Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.

What then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with my understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with my understanding.

Let me live, and I will praise You;
may Your judgments help me.
