6What should we say then?^u Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply?^v ²Absolutely not!^w How can we who died to sin^x still live in it? ³Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized^y into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?^z ⁴Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death,^aa in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead^ab by the glory of the Father,^ac so we too may walk in newness^C of life.^ad ⁵For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death,^ae we will certainly also be^D in the likeness of his resurrection. ⁶For we know that our old self^E^af was crucified with him^ag so that the body ruled by sin^F might be rendered powerless so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, ⁷since a person who has died^ah is freed^G from sin.^ai ⁸Now if we died with Christ,^aj we believe that we will also live with him, ⁹because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead,^ak will not die again. Death no longer rules over him.^al ¹⁰For the death he died, he died to sin once for all time; but the life he lives, he lives to God. ¹¹So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin^am and alive to God in Christ Jesus.^A

Read in Logos

Romans 6:4: We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
