2 By no means! We died to sin-How shall we live any longer in it?
3 Or do you not know that as many [of us] as were baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be [in the likeness] of [His] resurrection;
6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified [with Him], so that the body of sin may be done away with, [that] we should no longer serve sin.
7 For he who has died has been justified from sin.
