6 For we know that our old personality was nailed to the stake along with him+ in order for our sinful body* to be made powerless,+ so that we should no longer go on being slaves to sin.+
4 So, my brothers, you also were made dead to the Law through the body of the Christ, that you might become another’s,+ the one who was raised up from the dead,+ so that we should bear fruit to God.+
