Romans 6:11
Compare all
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.  
14 For asin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.  

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

15 What then? Shall we sin abecause we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!  
16 Do you not know that ato whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?  
17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart athat form of doctrine to which you were1 delivered.

Romans 6:11

Reckon ye also yourselves (kai umeiv logizesqe). Direct middle imperative of logizomai and complete proof that Paul does not mean that baptism makes one dead to sin and alive to God. That is a spiritual operation "in Christ Jesus" and only pictured by baptism. This is a plea to live up to the ideal of the baptized life.
