Romans 6:5-13

5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.

6We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

7(For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)

8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

9We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery 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 too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,

13and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness.
