AI-assisted, sourcedRomans 6:1-14Dead to sin, alive to God
About Romans 6"Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound," Paul asks, and answers, "God forbid," for we were "baptized into his death," that "we also should walk in newness of life," knowing "our old man is crucified with him." So "reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God," and do not let sin reign, "for ye are not under the law, but under grace." Whoever we obey, "his servants ye are," and believers, "made free from sin," have become "the servants of righteousness," for "the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
