# In the same way, you also must consider
"For this reason consider"
# consider yourselves to be
"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/jit/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"
