Romans 6:5-15

⁵For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be united with his resurrection.

⁶We know this, that our old man was crucified with him, in order that the body of sin might be destroyed. This happened so that we should no longer be enslaved to sin.

⁷He who has died is declared righteous with respect to sin.

⁸But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live together with him.

⁹We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead he cannot die again; death no longer has authority over him.

¹⁰For in regard to the death that he died to sin, he died once for all. However, the life that he lives, he lives for God.

¹¹In the same way, you also must consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹²Therefore do not let sin rule in your mortal body in order that you may obey its lusts.

¹³Do not present the parts of your body to sin, to be tools used for unrighteousness. But present yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and present the parts of your body to God as tools to be used for righteousness.

¹⁴Do not allow sin to rule over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be.
