Romans 6:3–14

3 Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized i into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? j 4 Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, k in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead l by the glory of the Father, m so we too may * walk in a new way n of life. o 5 For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, p we will certainly also be q in the likeness of His resurrection. 6 For we know that our old self r s was crucified with Him t in order that sin’s dominion over the body u may be abolished, v so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7 since a person who has died w is freed x from sin’s claims. y 8 Now if we died with Christ, z we believe that we will also live with Him, 9 because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, a will not die again. Death no longer rules over Him. b 10 For in light of the fact that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in light of the fact that He lives, He lives to God. 11 So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin c but alive to God in Christ Jesus. d

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey e its desires. 13 And do not offer any parts f of it to sin g as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, h and all the parts i of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. 14 For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law j but under grace. k
