Romans 6:1-11 ▼

1 Do we then conclude thus, let us continue in sin, that the divine favour may be more fully display'd?

2 God forbid, that we who have died to sin should live any longer therein.

3 don't you know that when we were all baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, we were plunged into a state figurative of his death.

4 therefore we are buried with him by being plunged into a sort of death: that as Christ was raised up from the dead into a state of glory with the father, even so we also should proceed to a new state of life.

5 for if we resembled him with regard to death, certainly we shall likewise do so with regard to his resurrection:

6 considering this, that our vicious passions were crucified with him, that the body of sin being destroyed, we might not any longer be vassals to sin.

7 for by its being dead, we are set free from sin.

8 since then we died with Christ, we are persuaded that we shall also live with him:

9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, is to die no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 for as to his death, he died upon the account of sin once for all; but as to his being alive, he lives to the glory of God for ever.

11 in like manner consider your selves as dead to sin; but alive to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
