4 Therefore, through baptism we were buried with him into his death so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too may live an entirely new life.
5 For if we have become united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6 We know that our old selves were crucified with him so that our sinful bodies might be rendered powerless and we might no longer be slaves to sin.
7 For the person who has died has been freed from sin.
