οὕτως κ.τ.λ. sums up the argument in answer to the question in Romans 6:1.

ἐν Χρ. Ἰησοῦ, first time in this Ep. (Romans 3:24 is different). The relation hitherto has been described by διὰ (Romans 5:1; Romans 5:11; Romans 5:17; Romans 5:21). The idea then becomes explicit that the new life is life in Christ Jesus, as the ascended Lord, agent and source of the Christian life. As so often, it is the anticipatory mention of an idea which is developed later. See 23, Romans 7:4; Romans 8:2.
