By Grace Through Faith

2 ^(A)And you were ^(B)dead in the trespasses and sins

⁵ even ^(A)when we were dead in our trespasses, ^(B)made us alive together with Christ—^(C)by grace you have been saved— ⁶ and raised us up with him and ^(D)seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

⁴ We were ^(A)buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as ^(B)Christ was raised from the dead by ^(C)the glory of the Father, we too might walk in ^(D)newness of life.

⁵ For ^(E)if we have been united with him in ^(F)a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. ⁶ We know that ^(G)our old self^{[a] (H)}was crucified with him in order that ^(I)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. ⁷ For ^(J)one who has died ^(K)has been set free^[b] from sin. ⁸ Now ^(L)if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. ⁹ We know that ^(M)Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; ^(N)death no longer has dominion over him. ¹⁰ For the death he died he died to sin, ^(O)once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. ¹¹ So you also must consider yourselves ^(P)dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

^12 (A)having been buried with him in baptism, in which ^(B)you were also raised with him through faith in ^(C)the powerful working of God, ^(D)who raised him from the dead.

Put On the New Self

3 ^(A)If then you have been raised with Christ, seek ^(B)the things that are above, where Christ is, ^(C)seated at the right hand of God. ^2 (D)Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. ³ For ^(E)you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ ^(F)who is your^[a] life ^(G)appears, then you also will appear with him ^(H)in glory.
