Romans 6:2-6

²Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, and how can we go on living in it?

³Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?

⁴Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father's power, so we also may live a new life.

⁵If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we will also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.

⁶We recognize the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
