Dead to Sin, Alive to God
1 What shall we say then? Rom. 3:8; 6:15Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who (Rom. 6:11; 7:4, 6; Gal. 2:19; Col. 2:20; 3:3); 1 Pet. 2:24died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that Acts 2:38; 8:16; 19:5; (Gal. 3:27); Col. 2:12as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus (1 Cor. 15:29)were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were Col. 2:12buried with Him through baptism into death, that 1 Cor. 6:14just as Christ was raised from the dead by John 2:11the glory of the Father, Rom. 7:6; (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph. 4:23; Col. 3:10)even so we also should walk in newness of life.
