Romans 6:1-14
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
What shall we say then? aAre we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can awe who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us awho have been baptized binto Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were aburied therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as bChrist was raised from the dead by cthe glory of the Father, we too might walk in dnewness of life.
5 For aif we have been united with him in ba death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that aour old self bwas crucified with him in order that cthe body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For aone who has died bhas been set free from sin. 8 Now aif we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that aChrist, being raised from the dead, will never die again; bdeath no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, aonce for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves adead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Let not asin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 aDo not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but bpresent yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For asin bwill have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
