2 God forbid. For how shall we that be dead to sin, live yet therein?

3 Whether, brethren, ye know not, that whichever we be baptized in Christ Jesus, we be baptized in his death?

4 For we be together buried with him by baptism into death; that as Christ arose from death by the glory of the Father, so walk we in a newness of life.

5 For if we planted together be made to the likeness of his death, also we shall be of the likeness of his rising again;

6 witting this thing, that our old man is crucified together, that the body of sin be destroyed, that we serve no more to sin.

7 For he that is dead [to sin], is justified from sin.
