1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may increase?
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.
