“Brothers and sisters, you all understand the Law of Moses. So surely you know that the law rules over people only while they are alive.
In the same way, my brothers and sisters, your old selves died and you became free from the law through the body of Christ. Now you belong to someone else. You belong to the one who was raised from death. We belong to Christ so that we can be used in service to God.”

“When people sin, they earn what sin pays—death. But God gives his people a free gift—eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

“Surely you know that you become the slaves of whatever you give yourselves to. Anything or anyone you follow will be your master. You can follow sin, or you can obey God. Following sin brings spiritual death, but obeying God makes you right with him. In the past you were slaves to sin—sin controlled you. But thank God, you fully obeyed what you were taught. You were made free from sin, and now you are slaves to what is right.”
Romans 6:16-18 ERV

“But don’t let sin control your life here on earth. You must not be ruled by the things your sinful self makes you want to do.
Don’t offer the parts of your body to serve sin. Don’t use your bodies to do evil, but offer yourselves to God, as people who have died and now live.
Offer the parts of your body to God to be used for doing good.
Sin will not be your master, because you are not under law. You now live under God’s grace.”
Romans 6:12-14 ERV

“Christ was raised from death. And we know that he cannot die again. Death has no power over him now.
In the same way, you should see yourselves as being dead to the power of sin and alive for God through Christ Jesus.”
https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.6.9.ERV
“We know that our old life was put to death on the cross with Christ. This happened so that our sinful selves would have no power over us. Then we would not be slaves to sin. Anyone who has died is made free from sin’s control.”
https://bible.com/bible/406/rom.6.6-7.ERV
“So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and took part in his death. And just as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father, so we can now live a new life.
Christ died, and we have been joined with him by dying too. So we will also be joined with him by rising from death as he did.”
