Romans 5:20 - 6:11 with Emphasis on Romans 6:1-2
5:20. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
5:21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
6:1. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
6:2. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
6:3. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
6:4. 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.
6:5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6:6. 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.
6:7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.
we believe that we shall also live with him:
6:9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him.
6:10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
6:11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
