6 ¹ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 6 ² God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? 6 ³ Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 6 ⁴ Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

6 ⁵ For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 ⁶ Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 6 ⁷ For he that is dead is freed from sin. 6 ⁸ Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 6 ⁹ Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 6 ¹⁰ For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 6 ¹¹ Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

6 ¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 6 ¹³ Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 6 ¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
