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

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

¹⁵ And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves^(A) but for him who died for them^(B) and was raised again.

⁴ But because of his great love for us,^(A) God, who is rich in mercy, ⁵ made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions^(B)—it is by grace you have been saved.^{(C) 6} And God raised us up with Christ^(D) and seated us with him^(E) in the heavenly realms^(F) in Christ Jesus,

Living as Those Made Alive in Christ

3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,^(A) set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.^{(B) 2} Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.^{(C) 3} For you died,^(D) and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is your^[a] life,^(E) appears,^(F) then you also will appear with him in glory.^(G)
