If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?Or don’t you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.For he who has died has been freed from sin.But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
