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

11 So you also must consider yourselves ^odead to sin and ^palive to God in Christ Jesus.

4 Likewise, my brothers, you also have ⁱdied to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve ^lin the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the ^mwritten code.¹

20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, ^ywhy, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations—

3 For ^gyou have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
