5 For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death,  * we will certainly also be  * in the likeness of his resurrection. 6 For we know that our old self  *,* was crucified with him  * so that the body ruled by sin  * might be rendered powerless  * so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7 since a person who has died  * is freed  * from sin.
