Romans 6:6
6We know that our old selves were crucified with him so that our sinful bodies might be rendered powerless and we might no longer be slaves to sin.Gal 2:20; 5:24; 6:14; Eph 4:22; Col 2:11Galatians 2:20
20I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, and the life that I now live in the flesh I live by the faithfulness of the Son of God, ▼▼Or by faith in the Son of God
who loved me and gave himself for me.Rom 6:6; 2Cor 5:15; Gal 1:4; 5:24; 6:14; Eph 5:2; 1Thes 5:10; Titus 2:14; 1Pet 4:2 Philippians 3:3
3For it is we who are the circumcision ▼▼Gk. peritome (a cutting around)
—we who worship in the Spirit of God ▼▼Other mss. read worship God in the Spirit
and boast in Christ Jesus. We have not placed any confidence in the flesh,Deut 10:16; 30:6; Jer 4:4; John 4:23-24; Rom 2:29; 4:11-12; 7:6; Gal 6:14; Col 2:11 Philippians 3:7-8
7But whatever things were assets to me, these I now consider a loss for the sake of Christ.Matt 13:44 8What is more, I continue to consider all these things as a loss for the sake of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. It is because of him that I have experienced the loss of all those things. Indeed, I consider them rubbish ▼▼Or dung
in order to gain ChristIsa 53:11; Jer 9:23-24; John 17:3; 1Cor 2:2; Col 2:2
