Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

6 What shall we say, then?^(A) Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?^(B)

² By no means! We are those who have died to sin;^(A) how can we live in it any longer?

³ Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized^(A) into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

⁴ We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death^(A) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead^(B) through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.^(C)
