Romans 6:2-12

MSG

NIV

2 I should hope not! If we've left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there?
2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3 Or didn't you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace - a new life in a new land!
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 When we are lowered into the water, it is like the burial of Jesus; when we are raised up out of the water, it is like the resurrection of Jesus.
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 Each of us is raised into a light-filled world by our Father so that we can see where we're going in our new grace-sovereign country.
5 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.
6 Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the Cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life - no longer at sin's every beck and call! What we believe is this:
6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
7
7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 If we get included in Christ's sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
9 We know that when Jesus was raised from the dead it was a signal of the end of death-as-the-end. Never again will death have the last word.
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
10 When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us.
10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That's what Jesus did.
11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 That means you must not give sin a vote in the way you conduct your lives. Don't give it the time of day.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
