²⁵ He was delivered over to death for our sins^(A) and was raised to life for our justification.^(B)

⁴ We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death^(A) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead^(B) through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.^(C)

⁵ For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.^{(D) 6} For we know that our old self^(E) was crucified with him^(F) so that the body ruled by sin^(G) might be done away with,^[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin^(H)— ⁷ because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.^(I)

⁸ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.^{(J) 9} For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,^(K) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.^{(L) 10} The death he died, he died to sin^(M) once for all;^(N) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin^(O) but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

⁹ For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life^(A) so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.^(B)

³ For you died,^(A) and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is your^[a] life,^(B) appears,^(C) then you also will appear with him in glory.^(D)
