Romans 6:5-11
Wycliffe Bible
5 For if we planted together be made to the likeness of his death, also we shall be of the likeness of his rising again;
6 witting this thing, that our old man is crucified together, that the body of sin be destroyed, that we serve no more to sin.
7 For he that is dead [to sin], is justified from sin.
8 And if we be dead with Christ, we believe that also we shall live together with him;
9 witting that Christ, rising again from death [rising again from dead], now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship on him.
10 For that he was dead to sin, he was dead once; but that he liveth, he liveth to God.
11 So [and] ye deem yourselves to be dead [soothly] to sin, but living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:5-11
New Matthew Bible
5 For if we are grafted in death like him, so also must we be in the resurrection. 6 We must remember that our old man is crucified with him also, so that the body of sin may utterly be destroyed, to the intent that henceforth we will not be servants of sin. 7 For he who is dead, is justified from sin.
8 And so if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we are to live with him – 9 remembering that Christ, once raised from death, dies no more. Death no longer has power over him. 10 For concerning that he died, he died as to sin once. And concerning that he lives, he lives unto God. 11 Think of yourselves also in the same way: that you are dead concerning sin, but are alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:5-11
1599 Geneva Bible
5 (A)[a]For if we be planted with him to the [b]similitude of his death, even so shall we [c]be to the similitude of his resurrection,
6 Knowing this, that our [d]old man is crucified with [e]him, that the body of [f]sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not [g]serve sin,
7 [h]For he that is dead, is freed from sin.
8 Wherefore, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also with him,
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died [i]once to sin: but in that he liveth, he liveth to [j]God.
11 Likewise think ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

- Romans 6:5 The death of sin and the life of righteousness, or our ingrafting into Christ, and growing up into one with him, cannot be separated by any means, neither in death nor life, whereby it followeth, that no man is sanctified, which lived still to sin, and therefore is no man made partaker of Christ by faith, which repenteth not, and turneth not from his wickedness: for as he said before, the Law is not subverted, but established by faith.
- Romans 6:5 Insomuch as by the means of the strength which cometh from him to us, we so die to sin as he is dead.

Romans 6:5-11
Authorized (King James) Version
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
