Romans 6:2–11

²By no means! We are those who have died to sin;^a how can we live in it any longer? ³Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized^b into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death^c in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead^d through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.^e

⁵For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.^{f 6}For we know that our old self^g was crucified with him^h so that the body ruled by sinⁱ might be done away with,^a that we should no longer be slaves to sin^j—⁷because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.^k

⁸Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.^{l 9}For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,^m he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.^{n 10}The death he died, he died to sin^o once for all;^p but the life he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin^q but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
