2 No indeed; how shall we who have died to sin still go on living in it any longer?
3 For do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death?
4 We have been buried together with him, then, through baptism into his death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we should live in a newness of life.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, so we shall also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 For this we know, that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the slave of sin might be destroyed; so that we should no longer be in slavery to sin -
7 for he who is dead is set free from sin.
