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.
