Romans 6:11 Douay-Rheims

So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

Paul attributes death to sin, i.e., to our body, but life to God, to whose nature it belongs that he lives, so that we must die to our body in order to live in Christ Jesus. While assuming the body of our sin, Christ already lives wholly for God, since he has united the nature that he shared with us in a mutual participation in the divine immortality.
