This is a trustworthy saying
"These are words you can trust"
If we have died with him ... he cannot deny himself
This is most likely a song or poem that Paul is quoting. If your language has a way of indicating that this is poetry you could use it here. If not, you could translate this as regular prose rather than poetry. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry)
died with him
Paul uses this expression to mean that people share in Christ's death when they trust in him, deny their own wants, and obey him.
if we are unfaithful
"even if we fail God" or "even if we do not do what we believe God wants us to do"
he cannot deny himself
"he must always act according to his character" or "he cannot act in ways that are the opposite of his real character"
