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 if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, so we might no longer be enslaved to sin.(A) For whoever has died is freed[a] from sin. But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.(B) 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.(C) 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.(D)
