2 In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

3 Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?

4 We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

5 For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

6 Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

7 Because he who is dead is free from sin.
