20 Law slipped in to aggravate the trespass; sin increased, but grace surpassed it far,
21 so that, while sin had reigned the reign of death, grace might also reign with a righteousness that ends in life eternal through Jesus Christ our Lord.
6 1 Now what are we to infer from this? That we are to 'remain on in sin, so that there may be all the more grace'?
2 Never! How can we live in sin any longer, when we died to sin?
3 Surely you know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death!
4 Our baptism in his death made us share his burial, so that, as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live and move in the new sphere of Life.
5 For if we have grown into him by a death like his, we shall grow into him by a resurrection like his,
6 knowing as we do that our old self has been crucified with him in order to crush the sinful body and free us from any further slavery to sin
7 (for once dead, a man is absolved from the claims of sin).
8 We believe that as we have died with Christ we shall also live with him;
9 for we know that Christ never dies after his resurrection from the dead — death has no more hold over him;
10 the death he died was for sin, once for all, but the life he lives is for God.
11 So you must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
