Romans 7:1-2, Romans 7:4, Romans 6:1-14

Released from the Law

7Or do you not know, ^abrothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is master over a person as long as he lives? ²For ^athe married woman has been bound by law to her ¹husband while he is living, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law ²concerning the husband.

⁴So, my brothers, you also were ^amade to die ^bto the Law ^cthrough the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

6^aWhat shall we say then? Are we to ^bcontinue in sin so that grace may increase? ²^aMay it never be! How shall we who ^bdied to sin still live in it? ³Or do you not know that all of us who were ^abaptized into ^bChrist Jesus were baptized into His death? ⁴Therefore we were ^aburied with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was ^braised from the dead through the ^cglory of the Father, so we too might walk in ^dnewness of life. ⁵For ^aif we have become ¹united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be ²in the likeness of His resurrection, ⁶knowing this, that our ^aold man was ^bcrucified with Him, in order that our ^cbody of sin might be ¹done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; ⁷for ^ahe who has died has been ¹justified from sin.

⁸Now ^aif we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, ⁹knowing that Christ, having been ^araised from the dead, ¹is never to die again; ^bdeath no longer is master over Him. ¹⁰For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all, but the life that He lives, He lives to God. ¹¹Even so consider yourselves to be ^adead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹²Therefore do not let sin ^areign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, ¹³and do not go on ^apresenting your members to sin as ¹instruments of unrighteousness, but ^bpresent yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as ²instruments of righteousness to God. ¹⁴For ^asin shall not ^bbe master over you, for ^cyou are not under law but ^dunder grace.
