daily reading 10.4 (Romans 6:5–7)
5-days-a-week through Romans and the letters Paul wrote from Rome in 2024
Our opening prayer for this week:
Drawn to the Cross, which you have blessed
With healing gifts for souls distressed,
To find in you my life, my rest,
Christ Crucified, I come.
How well you know my griefs and fears,
Your grace abused, my misspent years;
Yet now to you with contrite tears,
Christ Crucified, I come.
Wash me and take away each stain;
Let nothing of my sin remain.
For cleansing, through your cross and pain,
Christ Crucified, I come.
To pledge my labor willingly
Which shall so sweet a service be
That angels well might envy me,
Christ Crucified, I come. Amen.
Romans 6:5–7
- For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
- 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
