Romans 6:5-15

⁵For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of the rising again;

⁶this knowing, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

⁷for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.

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

⁹knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

¹⁰for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;

¹¹so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹²Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;

¹³neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

¹⁴for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!
