5 If we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection.

6 We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.

7 He who has died is freed from sin.

8 If we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

9 We know that Christ being raised from the dead died no more; death no longer has dominion over him.

10 For the death that he died, he died with reference to sin once. But the life that he lives, he lives to God.
