“Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. — Λογίζομαι (logizomai, "reckon/count") is financial language: believers are to register themselves as possessing a new accounting in Christ, dead on sin's ledger, alive to God's. This is declarative identity—not self-generated but acknowledged in baptism. The imperative rests on the indicative already established.
