Rom. 6:2‑15• 2Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
 3Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?
 4We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among the dead by the glory of the Father, so *we* also should walk in newness of life.
 5For if we are become identified with him in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of his resurrection;
 6knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.
 7For he that has died is justified from sin.
 8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,
 9knowing that Christ having been raised up from among the dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.
 10For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.
 11So also *ye*, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
 12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.
 13Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.
 14For sin shall not have dominion over *you*, for ye are not under law but under grace.
 15What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought. (Rom. 6:2‑15)
