3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? |
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. |
5 If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. |
6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with,1 6:6 Or be rendered powerless that we should no longer be slaves to sin-- |
7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin. |
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. |
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. |
10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. |
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. |
