Romans 5:20-6:6

English Standard Version

²⁰ Now ^(A)the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, ^(B)grace abounded all the more, ²¹ so that, ^(C)as sin reigned in death, ^(D)grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

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

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