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;^(C) how can we live in it any longer?

⁹ For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,^(A) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.^{(B) 10} The death he died, he died to sin^(C) once for all;^(D) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin^(E) but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
