t died has been justified from sin. (8)And if we
died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
(9)knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more;
death has dominion over him no more. (10)For in that he died, he died
to sin once; but in that he lives, he lives to God. (11)So also reckon
ye yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus
Christ.

(12)Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should
obey the lusts thereof; (13)nor yield your members to sin as
instruments of unrighteousness; but yield yourselves to God as being
alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of
righteousness. (14)For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye
are not under law, but under grace.

(15)What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under
grace? Far be it! (16)Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves
servants to obey, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin
unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (17)But thanks be to
God, that ye were servants of sin, but obeyed from the heart that form
of teaching which was delivered to you[6:18]; (18)and being made free
from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.

(19)I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your
flesh. For as ye yielded your members servants to uncleanness, and to
iniquity unto iniquity; so now yield your members servants to
righteousness unto sanctification. (20)For when ye were servants of
sin, ye were free as to righteousness. (21)What fruit therefore had ye
then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those
things is death. (22)But now, being made free from sin, and become
servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end
everlasting life. (23)For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of
God is eternal life, in Jesus Christ our Lord.

KNOW ye not, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that
the law has dominion over a man for so long a time as he lives? (2)For
the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives; but
if the husband die, she is loosed from the law of the husband. (3)So
then if, while the husband lives, she be married to another man, she
shall be called an adulteress; but if the husband die, she is free
from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she be married
to another man.

(4)Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to th
