4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
|
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.
|
9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
|
11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
|
16. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
|
17. But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
|
19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
|
21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
|
22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
|
23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
