1What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound?
2let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it?
3are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?
4we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.
5For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again;
6this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;
7for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.
