Joshua 8:28-35
28) So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
29) The king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, to this day.
30) Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
31) as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings to Yahweh, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
32) He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.
33) All Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, as well the sojourner as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
34) Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
35) There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua didn‘t read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who were among them.
Romans 6:4-7,
4) We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5) For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6) knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7) For he who has died has been freed from sin.
1 John 5:18
18) We know that whoever is born of God doesn‘t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn‘t touch him.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57
55) "Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?"
56) The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57) But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:1-2,
1) There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don‘t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
