Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

Romans 6:1-14

Chapter 6

¹ What then shall we say? Shall we persist in sin, so that grace may abound? ² May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? ³ Or do you not know that all who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴ We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. ⁵ For if we have become united with the likeness of his death, we shall also be united with the likeness of the resurrection. ⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, for us no longer to serve sin. ⁷ For the one who has died has been justified from sin. ⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, no longer dies; death no longer rules over him. ¹⁰ For the one who died, he died to sin once for all; but the one who lives, he lives to God. ¹¹ In this way also you reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Therefore let not Sin reign in your mortal body to obey its desires, ¹³ Nor present your members as weapons of unrighteousness to Sin, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness to God. ¹⁴ For sin will not lord it over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
