1

What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?

2

In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

3

Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?

4

We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

5

For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again

6

Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

7

Because he who is dead is free from sin.

8

But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him

9

Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead death has no more power over him.

10

For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

11

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

12

For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires

13

And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

14

For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.
