1What then shall we say? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase?2Certainly not. How can we who died to sin still live in it?3Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?4Therefore we were 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.5For if we have become united with the likeness of his death, we shall also be united with the likeness of his resurrection.6We know this, that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, in order that we might no longer be enslaved to sin.7For one who has died has been justified from sin.8But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.9We know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no longer; death no longer has dominion over him.10For the death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.11So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so as to obey its desires.13And do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.14For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
