Romans 6:1-11 ▼

1 What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?

2 Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?

3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?

4 We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 For if we are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of [his] resurrection;

6 knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.

7 For he that has died is justified from sin.

8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,

9 knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.

10 For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.

11 So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
