DEAD TO SIN, ALIVE IN CHRIST


Romans 6:1-14

What shall we say, then?
Shall we go on Sinning so that Grace may increase?

2 BY NO MEANS!
WE DIED TO SIN;
HOW CAN WE LIVE IN IT ANY LONGER?

3 Or don't you know
That all of us who were Baptized into Christ Jesus
Were Baptized into his death?

4 We were therefore Buried with Him through Baptism
INTO DEATH
In order that, just as Christ was Raised from the Dead
Through the Glory of the Father,
WE TOO MAY HAVE NEW LIFE.

5 IF WE HAVE BEEN UNITED WITH HIM IN HIS DEATH,
WE WILL CERTAINLY BE UNITED WITH HIM
IN HIS RESURRECTION.

6 FOR WE KNOW THAT OUR OLD SELF
WAS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM
SO THAT THE BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE RENDERED POWERLESS,
THAT WE SHOULD NO LONGER BE SLAVES TO SIN--

7 BECAUSE ANYONE WHO HAS DIED
HAS BEEN FREED FROM SIN.

8 NOW IF WE DIED WITH CHRIST,
WE BELIEVE THAT WE WILL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM.

9 For we know that since Christ was Raised from the dead,
He cannot Die again;
Death no longer has Mastery over Him.

10 THE DEATH HE DIED,
HE DIED TO SIN ONCE FOR ALL;
BUT THE LIFE HE LIVES,
HE LIVES TO GOD.

11 IN THE SAME WAY,
COUNT YOURSELVES DEAD TO SIN
BUT ALIVE TO GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.

12 Therefore do not let Sin Reign in your Mortal body
So that you Obey its Evil Desires.

13 DO NOT OFFER THE PARTS OF YOUR BODY TO SIN,
AS INSTRUMENTS OF WICKEDNESS,

BUT RATHER OFFER YOURSELVES TO GOD,
AS THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT FROM DEATH TO LIFE;

AND OFFER THE PARTS OF YOUR BODY TO HIM
AS INSTRUMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

FOR SIN SHALL NOT BE YOUR MASTER,
BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT UNDER LAW,
BUT UNDER GRACE.
(Romans 6:1-14)

If we belong to Christ Jesus
We have been Crucified with Him
And we have Died
And are Free from Sin.

We have Died with Christ
That we might live with Him.

Christ Died Once for All
And the life He lives
He lives to God.

In the same way
We count ourselves Dead to Sin
But Alive to God in Christ Jesus.

We have been brought from Death to Life.
Sin is no longer our Master
By the Grace of God.
