1
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
may
abound?
2
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer
therein?
3
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
Christ
were baptized into his death?
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.
7
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also
live
with him:
9
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death
hath no more dominion over him.
10
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he
liveth,
he liveth unto God.
11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive
unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should
obey it in the lusts thereof.(KJV)
25
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest
thou this?
27
She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the
Christ,
the Son of God, which should come into the world.(KJV)
7
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we
die,
we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we
are the Lord's.(KJV)
