Romans 6:3-17

³Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?

⁴We then by this baptism into his death were buried with him; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

⁵For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also;

⁶knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;

⁷for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.

⁸And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

⁹since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.

¹⁰For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

¹¹Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.

¹²Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,

¹³nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

¹⁴For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!

¹⁶Know ye not, that whomever ye choose to obey as a master, his bondmen ye are, whether of sin whose fruit is death, or of obedience whose fruit is righteousness?

¹⁷But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;
