Romans 6:9

7 For ^ahe who has died has been freed from sin.

8 Now ^aif we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

9 knowing that ^aChrist, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

10 For the death that He died, ^aHe died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, ^bHe lives to God.

11 Likewise you also,¹ reckon yourselves to be ^adead indeed to sin, but ^balive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 ^aTherefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

13 And do not present your ^amembers as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but ^bpresent yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

Romans 6:9

Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more - So we, believing in Christ Jesus, and having a death unto sin, and a life unto righteousness, should sin no more. If we be risen indeed with Christ, we should seek the things above, and set our affections on things above, and not on the earth. The man who walks in humble, loving obedience, to an indwelling Christ, sin has no more dominion over his soul than death has over the immortal and glorified body of his Redeemer.
