Context: Romans 6
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Paul teaches that through faith in Jesus, people can overcome sin and live a new life.
Commentary
Romans 6 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of grace and the freedom that comes from being in Christ. Paul begins by reminding the readers that they have been baptized into Christ and have been united with Him in His death. This means that they have died to their old sinful nature and have been raised to a new life in Christ. This new life is one of freedom from sin and death, and it is a life of holiness and righteousness.
