Dead to Sin, Alive to God

6 What shall we say then? ^(A)Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? ² Certainly not! How shall we who ^(B)died to sin live any longer in it? ³ Or do you not know that ^(C)as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus ^(D)were baptized into His death? ⁴ Therefore we were ^(E)buried with Him through baptism into death, that ^(F)just as Christ was raised from the dead by ^(G)the glory of the Father, ^(H)even so we also should walk in newness of life.

^5 (I)For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, ⁶ knowing this, that ^(J)our old man was crucified with Him, that ^(K)the body of sin might be ^[a]done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

¹⁸ For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. ¹⁹ For I ^(A)through the law ^(B)died to the law that I might ^(C)live to God. ²⁰ I have been ^(D)crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh ^(E)I live by faith in the Son of God, ^(F)who loved me and gave Himself for me.

² that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, ^(A)but for the will of God.
