2 God forbid. We died to sin! How could we any longer live in it?

3 Or are you ignorant to the fact that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death. Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, that we might walk in the newness of life.

5 If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection.

6 We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.

7 He who has died is freed from sin.
