1. What therefore shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, in order that grace may increase?
2. May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
3. Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4. Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may live a new way of life.
5. For if we have become identified with him in the likeness of his death, certainly also we will be identified with him in the likeness of his resurrection,
