Romans 6:5-11

5If we’ve become united with him in a death like his, certainly we will also be united with him when we come back to life as he did.

6We know that the person we used to be was crucified with him to put an end to sin in our bodies. Because of this we are no longer slaves to sin.

7The person who has died has been freed from sin.

8If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

9We know that Christ, who was brought back to life, will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.

10When he died, he died once and for all to sin’s power. But now he lives, and he lives for God.

11So consider yourselves dead to sin’s power but living for God in the power Christ Jesus gives you.
