For (A)if we have been united with him in (B)a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that (C)our old self[a] (D)was crucified with him in order that (E)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For (F)one who has died (G)has been set free[b] from sin. Now (H)if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that (I)Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; (J)death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, (K)once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves (L)dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10 When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. 11 So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
