Romans 6:3-9
Chapter 6
3
Don’t you realize that in baptism, which unites us with Christ, we are all baptized and immersed into his death?
4
Through this baptism into his death, we are buried with Christ, and just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we begin walking in a new life.
5
If we have been united with him through dying a death like his, then we will be united with him through a resurrection like his.
6
We know that our old self was crucified with Christ so that the part of us that was sin might be destroyed, freeing us from slavery to sin.
7
If we are dead, we are no longer in debt to sin.
8
But if we have died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him.
9
We know that Christ, once risen from the dead, will never die again, and death has no more authority over him.
