⁵ For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death,^(A) we will certainly also be^[a] in the likeness of His resurrection. ⁶ For we know that our old self^[b](B) was crucified with Him^(C) in order that sin’s dominion over the body^[c] may be abolished,^(D) so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, ⁷ since a person who has died^(E) is freed^[d] from sin’s claims.^{[e] 8} Now if we died with Christ,^(F) we believe that we will also live with Him, ⁹ because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead,^(G) will not die again. Death no longer rules over Him.^{(H) 10} For in light of the fact that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in light of the fact that He lives, He lives to God. ¹¹ So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin^(I) but alive to God in Christ Jesus.^[f]
