1 So what are we going to say? Should we continue sinning so grace will multiply?
2 Absolutely not! All of us died to sin. How can we still live in it?
3 Or don’t you know that all who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore, we were buried together with him through baptism into his death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too can walk in newness of life.
5 If we were united together in a death like his, we will also be united together in a resurrection like his.
6 This is what we know: the person that we used to be was crucified with him in order to get rid of the corpse that had been controlled by sin. That way we wouldn’t be slaves to sin anymore,
7 because a person who has died has been freed from sin’s power.
