⁷ Because he who is dead is free from sin.

⁴ In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

¹ So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

⁸ But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

² For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

¹ For this cause those who are in Christ Jesus will not be judged as sinners.

¹ If then you have a new life with Christ, give your attention to the things of heaven, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

² Keep your mind on the higher things, not on the things of earth.

³ For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

² In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?
