Rom 6:3 Know ye not[Shouldn't we be knowing this], that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore[Certainly, Verily] we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as[exactly like, just as] Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so[in this way, on this fashion] we also should walk[to tread all around, walk at large (especially as proof of ability); be occupied with] in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if[Assuming to be true that] we have been planted together[grown along with (connate - to be born with, twins ,Congenial - Having the same tastes, habits, or temperament; sympathetic.), closely united to] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this[Shouldn't we be knowing this], that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might[possibility] be destroyed[to be (render) entirely idle (useless), become (make) of no (none, without) effect, bring (come) to nought (nothing), vanish away, make void], that henceforth[no longer, more, soon, not any more - Usage of negative in KJV is later] we should not serve[to be a slave, be in bondage] sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed[justified, made righteous] from[usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal] sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Rom 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over[to rule, be lord of, exercise lordship over] him.
Rom 6:10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Rom 6:11 Likewise[in this way, on this fashion] reckon[to take an inventory, conclude, account of - It's like take note, to take an acknowlegdement for God] ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Rom 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
A picture of what connate means is shown below. This is a connate leaf. Can we differentiate the main leaf and teh sub leaf?? :)
In verse 6 the body of sin being destroyed is spoken of as a possibility. I would like equate and expand this to an old testement example which I heard from a preacher.
It is like the promise land which God showed to the 12 men (God showed us the perfection & holiness of Jesus even in the flesh). God asks us to go and posses this land. (God has given us proof and asks us through the scripture to live the verse "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.) But there are many who do not believe it is not possible to live a life without sin. Many say we should sin, for these are are gaints - Can we evr control them? The question is what happened to these people - They wandered and wandered and wandered in their unbeleif being defeated by sin again and again. Even more the died in their sin not being able to ever reach this "sin shall not have dominion".
But for the few who believed ..... For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. And again I say to you - Likewise[in this way, on this fashion] reckon[to take an inventory, conclude, account of - It's like take note, to take an acknowlegdement for God] ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This possibility is a certainity only through Jesus Christ our Lord. Yes, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
