Romans 6:1-11 ▼

1 WHAT shall we then say? Shall we con tinue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 Far be it. How shall we who are dead to sin, continue to live in it?

3 Do you not know, that those of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ have been baptized into his death?

4 Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death: so that as Jesus Christ arose from the dead by the glory of his Father, even so we also shall walk in a new life.

5 For if we have been planted together with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 For we know, that our old selves are crucified with him, so that the sinful body might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we are dead with Christ, let us believe that we shall also live with Christ:

9 We know that Christ rose from the dead, and dies no more; and that death has no more dominion over him.

10 For in dying he died once to sin: and in living he lives to God.

11 Likewise, you also must consider yourself as being dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our LORD.
