In Romans 6:2, Paul asks how we who died to sin can live in it—the same foundation: death to sin, which frees us (6:7). Immediate context.

In Romans 6:8, Paul builds on the truth of dying with Christ: if we died, we believe we will also live with Him—direct logical sequence.

In Romans 7:4, Paul applies the same death-frees logic to the law — being released from law's claim through Christ's body.

In Romans 8:1, the freedom from sin in Christ results in no condemnation — the logical outcome of being dead to sin.

In Romans 7:2, death releases a wife from marriage law—a parallel illustration: death breaks sin's claim, just as death releases from legal obligation.

In Colossians 3:1-3, this death with Christ is the basis for seeking heavenly things — our life is hidden with Christ.

In 1 Peter 4:1, suffering in the flesh likewise produces cessation from sin — a parallel to being freed from sin by death.

In 1 Peter 2:24, Christ's bearing sins enables our death to sin — the very basis for being freed from sin here.
