Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore, we were buried with Him by baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in the resurrection. 6 We know this: our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, and we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For the one who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. 9 We know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him. 10 For the death He died, He died to sin once for all time; but the life He lives, He lives to God. 11 So you too consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
