Romans 6:3-14
New American Standard Bible
3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been (A)baptized into (B)Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been (C)buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was (D)raised from the dead through the (E)glory of the Father, so we too may walk in (F)newness of life. 5 For (G)if we have become [a]united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be [b]in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our (H)old [c]self was (I)crucified with Him, in order that our (J)body of sin might be [d]done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for (K)the one who has died is [e]freed from sin.
8 Now (L)if we have died with Christ, we believe that (M)we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been (N)raised from the dead, [f]is never to die again; (O)death no longer is master over Him. 10 For [g]the death that He died, He died to sin once for all time; but [h]the life that He lives, He lives to [i]God. 11 So you too, consider yourselves to be (P)dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore sin is not to (Q)reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on (R)presenting [j]the parts of your body to sin as [k]instruments of unrighteousness; but (S)present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and [l]your body’s parts as [m]instruments of righteousness for God. 14 For (T)sin shall not (U)be master over you, for (V)you are not under [n]the Law but (W)under grace.
