# In the same way, you also must consider

"For this reason consider"

# consider yourselves

"think of yourselves as" or "see yourselves as"

# dead to sin

Just as one cannot force a corpse to do anything, sin has no power to force believers to dishonor God. Alternate translation: "as if you were dead to the power of sin" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# dead to sin, but alive to God

"dead to the power of sin, but living to honor God"

# alive to God in Christ Jesus

"living to honor God through the power Christ Jesus gives you"
