Romans 6:2–11

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 4}Therefore 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 5}For 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^Eaf 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 8}Now 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 10}For 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
