ROMANS 6:6-16

⁶knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

⁷for he that hath died is justified from sin.

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

⁹knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.

¹⁰For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

¹¹Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:

¹³neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

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

¹⁵What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

¹⁶Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
