Romans 6:1–11

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

^1aWhat shall we say then? Are we to ^bcontinue in sin so that grace may increase?

^2aMay it never be! How shall we who ^bdied to sin still live in it?

³Or do you not know that all of us who were ^abaptized into ^bChrist Jesus were baptized into His death?

⁴Therefore we were ^aburied with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was ^braised from the dead through the ^cglory of the Father, so we too might walk in ^dnewness of life.

⁵For ^aif we have become ¹united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be ²in the likeness of His resurrection,

⁶knowing this, that our ^aold man was ^bcrucified with Him, in order that our ^cbody of sin might be ¹done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;

⁷for ^ahe who has died has been ¹justified from sin.

⁸Now ^aif we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

⁹knowing that Christ, having been ^araised from the dead, ¹is never to die again; ^bdeath no longer is master over Him.

¹⁰For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all, but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

¹¹Even so consider yourselves to be ^adead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
