2 By no means! ^yHow can we who died to sin still live in it?

5 For if we have been ^dunited with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

6 We know that our ^eold self¹ was ^fcrucified with him in order that the ^gbody of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be ^henslaved to sin.

8 Now ⁱif we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
