Context of Romans 6:8

6knowing our old man was crucified with Him so that the sinful body might be done away with, so we no longer serve sin. 7For he who has died is set free from sin. Now if we have died with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with Him. 9We know that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, no longer dies; death no longer is master over Him. 10For the death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
