² By no means! We are those who have died to sin;^(A) how can we live in it any longer?

⁸ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.^{(A) 9} For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,^(B) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.^{(C) 10} The death he died, he died to sin^(D) once for all;^(E) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin^(F) but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

⁶ But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law^(A) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.^(B)

¹⁹ “For through the law I died to the law^(A) so that I might live for God.^(B)

²⁰ Since you died with Christ^(A) to the elemental spiritual forces of this world,^(B) why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:^(C)

³ For you died,^(A) and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
