Romans 6:1-11 ▼

1 What, then, shall we say? Shall we persist in sin, that grace may abound?

2 It could not be! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Or are ye ignorant, that all we who were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into His death?

4 We were buried, therefore, with Him through the immersion into death; that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

5 For, if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection;

6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him , that the body of sin might be brought to nought, that we should no more be in bondage to sin;

7 for he that died has been justified from sin.

8 But, if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;

9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death no more has dominion over Him.

10 For the death that He died, He died to Sin once for all; but the life that He liveth He liveth to God.

11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves dead, indeed, to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
