Romans 6:1-11

¹What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

²By no means: how shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

³Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?

⁴Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

⁵For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him , that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

⁷For he that is dead is freed from sin.

⁸Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

⁹Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

¹⁰For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

¹¹Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
