Whatshall we saythen? Shall we continuein sin, thatgracemay abound? God forbid. Howshall we, thatare deadto sin, liveany longertherein? Know ye not, thatso many of us aswere baptizedintoJesusChristwere baptizedintohisdeath? Thereforewe are buriedwith himbybaptismintodeath: thatlike asChristwas raised upfromthe deadbythegloryof theFather, evensowealsoshould walkinnewnessof life. Forifwe have beenplanted togetherin thelikenessof hisdeath, we shall bealso in the likeness of his resurrection: Knowingthis, thatouroldmanis crucified with him, thatthebodyof sinmight be destroyed, that henceforthweshould not servesin. Forhe that is deadis freedfromsin. Nowifwe be deadwithChrist, we believethatwe shall alsolive withhim: KnowingthatChristbeing raisedfromthe deaddiethno more; deathhath no more dominion overhim. Forin thathe died, he diedunto sinonce: butin thathe liveth, he livethunto God. Likewisereckonyealsoyourselvesto bedeadindeedunto sin, butaliveunto GodthroughJesusChristourLord.

ButGod be thanked, thatye werethe servantsof sin, butye have obeyedfromthe heartthat formof doctrinewhichwas deliveredyou. Being thenmade freefromsin, ye became the servantsof righteousness.
