Romans
6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that
like
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 planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in
the likeness of his resurrection:
6
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of
sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we
should not serve sin.
7 For he that is
dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead
with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ
being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over
him.
10 For in that he
died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead
indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through
Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore
reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield
ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves
unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments
of righteousness unto God.
14
For sin shall not have dominion over you:
for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall
we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not,
that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are
to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked,
that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that
form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made
free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. |
