3 Whether, brethren, ye know not, that whichever we be baptized in Christ Jesus, we be baptized in his death? (Brothers, do ye not know, that whoever is baptized into union with the Messiah Jesus, is baptized into his death?)
4 For we be together buried with him by baptism into death; that as Christ arose from death by the glory of the Father, or that as Christ rose from (the) dead by (the) glory of the father, (or that as the Messiah rose from the dead by the glory of the Father), so walk we in a newness of life.
5 For if we planted together be made to the likeness of his death, also we shall be of the likeness of his rising again (or we shall also be made to the likeness of his resurrection);
6 witting this thing (or knowing this), that our old man is crucified together (with him), (so) that the body of sin be destroyed, (so) that we serve no more to sin.
7 For he that is dead to sin, is justified from sin.
8 And if we be dead with Christ (or And if we have died with the Messiah), we believe that also we shall live together with him;
9 witting that Christ, rising again from death or rising again from (the) dead, now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship on him. (knowing that the Messiah, rising again from the dead, now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship over him.)
10 For that he was dead to sin, he was dead once; but that he liveth, he liveth to God.
11 So ye deem yourselves to be dead to sin, but living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Therefore reign not sin in your deadly body, that ye obey to his covetings. (And so do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that ye obey its desires.)
13 Neither give ye your members (as) armours, (or as arms, or as instruments), of wickedness to sin, but give ye yourselves to God, as they that live of dead men, and your members (as) armours, (or as arms, or as instruments), of rightwiseness to God.
