* Or are ye ignorant that as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into his death ? * We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death , so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father , so also we may walk in newness of life . * For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death , then we will also be of the resurrection . * Knowing this , that our old man was crucified with him , so that the body of sin might be inactivated , no longer to enslave us to sin . * For he who has died has been made righteous away from sin . * And if we died with Christ , we believe that we will also live with him , * knowing that Christ , having been raised from the dead , dies no more . Death no more has dominion over him . * For that he died , he died to sin once , but that he lives , he lives to God . * So also ye , reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin , but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord . * Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body in order to obey it , in its lusts . * And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin , but present yourselves to God , as living out of the dead , and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God , * for sin will not have dominion over you . For ye are not under law , but under grace . * What then ? May we sin , because we are not under law but under grace ? May it not happen ! * Know ye not , that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience , ye are bondmen to what ye obey , whether of sin for death , or of obedience for righteousness ? * But thanks to God , that ye were bondmen of sin , but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered . * And having been set free from sin , ye were made servile to righteousness * (I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh ). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness , and to lawlessness for lawlessness , so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification . * For when ye were bondmen of sin , ye were uninhibited by righteousness . * What fruit therefore did ye have then , of which things ye are now ashamed ? For the end of those things is death . * But now having been made free from sin , and having become servile to God , ye have your fruit for sanctification , and the end , eternal life . * For the wages of sin is death , but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord .
