For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.(A) For we know that our old self(B) was crucified with him(C) so that the body ruled by sin(D) might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin(E) because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.(F)

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.(G) For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,(H) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.(I) 10 The death he died, he died to sin(J) once for all;(K) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

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

  1. Romans 6:6 Or be rendered powerless

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]
