2 By no means. How shall we, who have died to sin, continue to live in it?
3 Do you not know, that as many as have been immersed into Jesus Christ, have been immersed into his death?
4 We have been buried, then, together with him, by the immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father; so we also shall walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death; we shall then, also, certainly be in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should not any longer serve sin:
7 for he that has died is released from sin.
