5
Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised as he was.
6
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.
7
For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.
8
And since we died with Christ, we know we will also share his new life.
9
We are sure of this because Christ rose from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.
10
He died once to defeat sin, and now he lives for the glory of God.
11
So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus.
12
Do not let sin control the way you live; a do not give in to its lustful desires.
