Romans 6

Paul argues that believers, united with Christ in his death and resurrection, have died to sin—our old self crucified with him—so we should no longer serve sin but consider ourselves dead to sin and alive to God.[1][2][4] He urges presenting our members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification, not to impurity, since sin has no dominion under grace; the wages of sin is death, but God's gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus.[1][2]
