Romans 6:1-13

11What shall we say then? Are we to 2continue in sin so that grace may increase? 234Far from it! How shall we who 5died to sin still live in it? 3Or do you not know that all of us who have been 6baptized into 7Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4Therefore we have been 8buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was 9raised from the dead through the 10glory of the Father, so we too may walk in 11newness of life. 5For 12if we have become 13united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be 14in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that our 15old 16self was 17crucified with Him, in order that our 18body of sin might be 19done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7for 20the one who has died is 21freed from sin.

8Now 22if we have died with Christ, we believe that 23we shall also live with Him, 9knowing that Christ, having been 24raised from the dead, 25is never to die again; 26death no longer is master over Him. 10For 27the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but 28the life that He lives, He lives to 29God. 11So you too, consider yourselves to be 30dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12Therefore sin is not to 31reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13and do not go on 32presenting 33the parts of your body to sin as 34instruments of unrighteousness; but 35present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and 36your body’s parts as 37instruments of righteousness for God.
