Romans 6:2-14
2 aMay it never be! How shall we who bdied to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who were abaptized into bChrist Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were aburied with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was braised from the dead through the cglory of the Father, so we too might walk in dnewness of life. 5 For aif we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our aold man was bcrucified with Him, in order that our cbody of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for ahe who has died has been justified from sin.
8 Now aif we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been araised from the dead, is never to die again; bdeath no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all, but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be adead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin areign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on apresenting your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but bpresent yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For asin shall not bbe master over you, for cyou are not under law but dunder grace.
Colossians 3:5
5 aTherefore, consider bthe members of your earthly body as dead to csexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which is idolatry.
