2 Far be it! we who have died unto sin, how, any longer, shall we live therein?

3 Or know ye not that, we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus , into his death were immersed?

4 We were, therefore, buried together with him through our immersion into his death, in order thatjust as Christ was raised from among the dead through the glory of the Father, so, we also, in newness of life should walk.

5 For, if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of his death, certainly, in that of his resurrection also, shall we be.

6 Of this taking notethat, our old man, was crucified together with him in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we should, no longer, be in servitude to sin;

7 For, he that hath died, hath become righteously acquitted from his sin.
