2. God forbid! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
3. Do you not know that we who were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?
4. Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5. For if we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, so shall we also be united with Him in the likeness of His resurrection,
6. knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with Him, so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7. For the one who has died is freed from sin.
8. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9. knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death has no further dominion over Him.
