For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death,(A) we will certainly also be[a] in the likeness of his resurrection. For we know that our old self[b](B) was crucified with him(C) so that the body ruled by sin[c] might be rendered powerless(D) so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, since a person who has died(E) is freed[d] from sin. Now if we died with Christ,(F) we believe that we will also live with him, 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 the death he died, he died to sin once for all time; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin(I) and alive to God in Christ Jesus.[e]

For (A)if we have become [a]united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be [b]in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our (B)old [c]self was (C)crucified with Him, in order that our (D)body of sin might be [d]done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; for (E)the one who has died is [e]freed from sin.

Now (F)if we have died with Christ, we believe that (G)we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been (H)raised from the dead, [f]is never to die again; (I)death no longer is master over Him. 10 For [g]the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but [h]the life that He lives, He lives to [i]God. 11 So you too, consider yourselves to be (J)dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
