Romans 6:2

Formerly Dead To Sin, Now Alive In Christ

¹ What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? ² Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? ³ Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

Certainly Not
