2 Never. How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
3 Are you ignorant that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have grown into union with him by the likeness of his death, surely we shall be united with him by the likeness of his resurrection.
6 For we know this, that our old-time humanity was crucified with him, in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we might no longer be slaves of sin.
7 For one who has died has been pronounced righteous and free from sin.
