How can anyone who is dead to sin live any longer in it? . . . As many of us as were baptized into Christ, were baptized into His death. . . that as He was raised by the glory of the Father, we too should live in newness of life.
. . . no more slaves of sin unto death, but present your members as instruments of righteousness.
(Cf. Rom. 6)
