Context of Romans 6:8
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
