5 For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.

6 This we know–that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;

7 for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.

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

9 because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.

10 Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
