Dead to Sin, Alive to God

6 What shall we say then? ^(A)Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? ² By no means! How can ^(B)we who died to sin still live in it? ³ Do you not know that all of us ^(C)who have been baptized ^(D)into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? ⁴ We were ^(E)buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as ^(F)Christ was raised from the dead by ^(G)the glory of the Father, we too might walk in ^(H)newness of life.

⁵ For ^(I)if we have been united with him in ^(J)a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. ⁶ We know that ^(K)our old self^{[a] (L)}was crucified with him in order that ^(M)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

³² Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is ^(A)he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” ³⁴ They said to him, ^(B)“Sir, give us this bread always.”

³⁵ Jesus said to them, ^(C)“I am the bread of life; ^(D)whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. ³⁶ But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. ^37 (E)All that ^(F)the Father gives me will come to me, and ^(G)whoever comes to me I will never cast out. ³⁸ For ^(H)I have come down from heaven, not to do ^(I)my own will but ^(J)the will of him ^(K)who sent me. ³⁹ And ^(L)this is the will of him who sent me, ^(M)that I should lose nothing of ^(N)all that he has given me, but ^(O)raise it up on the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who ^(P)looks on the Son and ^(Q)believes in him ^(R)should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
