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

because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

For one who has died has been set free from sin.

So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?

For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin.

So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.

Absolutely not!  How can we who died to sin  still live in it?

since a person who has died  is freed  from sin.

So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin  and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

For he who has died has been freed from sin.

Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

So what do we do? Keep on sinning so God can keep on forgiving? I should hope not! If we’ve left the country where sin is sovereign, how can we still live in our old house there? Or didn’t you realize we packed up and left there for good? That is what happened in baptism. When we went under the water, we left the old country of sin behind; when we came up out of the water, we entered into the new country of grace—a new life in a new land!

Could it be any clearer? Our old way of life was nailed to the cross with Christ, a decisive end to that sin-miserable life—no longer captive to sin’s demands! What we believe is this: If we get included in Christ’s sin-conquering death, we also get included in his life-saving resurrection. We know that when Jesus was raised from the dead it was a signal of the end of death-as-the-end. Never again will death have the last word. When Jesus died, he took sin down with him, but alive he brings God down to us. From now on, think of it this way: Sin speaks a dead language that means nothing to you; God speaks your mother tongue, and you hang on every word. You are dead to sin and alive to God. That’s what Jesus did.

Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

for the one who has died is freed from sin.

So you too, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer?

For the person who has died [with Christ] has been freed from [the power of] sin.

Even so, consider yourselves to be dead to sin [and your relationship to it broken], but alive to God [in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus.

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

(For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)

So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
