Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

6.6 Vetus homo. Id est, veteres actus sunt crucifixi, id est, mortui. Vetustas nostra et maledictio in duobus consistit, scilicet, in culpa et pœna. Christus autem sua simpla vetustate nostram duplam consumpsit. In sepulcro enim uno die et duabus noctibus quievit. Per unum diem simpla ejus vetustas signatur, per duas vero noctes gemina nostra; unde: Culpam nostram Christus delevit præsentem, præteritam, et futuram. Præteritam remittendo, præsentem ab ea retrahendo, futuram ut vitaremus gratiam conferendo. Pœnam quoque similiter consumpsit, gehennalem prorsus delendo, ut eam vere pœnitentes non sentiant. Temporalem vero non penitus quidem tulit: manet enim fames, sitis, mors et hujusmodi; sed regnum et dominium ejus dejecit, et in novissimo penitus exterminabit.

6:6 our old sinful selves: Our “old selves” are not a nature that we possess or just one part of who we are; it reflects who we were in Adam. All human beings were born “in Adam.” As heirs of the sin and death that he introduced into the world (5:12), we were slaves to the power of sin. But as people who are now in Christ, we have gone through crucifixion with him (see also Gal 2:20). When he died on the cross, we also died to the dominating power of sin that ruled in our former selves.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὁ παλαιὸς ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος συνεσταυρώθη
the old ˱of˲_us person /was/_crucified_with_‹him›
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God crucified our old man together with him”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ παλαιὸς ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος συνεσταυρώθη
the old ˱of˲_us person /was/_crucified_with_‹him›
Paul speaks of our sinful human nature as if it were an old man who was nailed to the same cross as Christ. Paul means that when Christ was crucified, he destroyed the power of sin and death that controlled all humans. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “God destroyed the power of sin that controlled people when Christ was crucified”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
συνεσταυρώθη
/was/_crucified_with_‹him›
The pronoun him refers to Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “was crucified with Christ”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
ἵνα
in_order_that
Here, in order that introduces a purpose clause. Paul is stating the purpose for which God crucified our old man. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a purpose clause. Alternate translation (without a comma preceding): “so that”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καταργηθῇ τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας
/may_be/_nullified the body ¬the ˱of˲_sin

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
καταργηθῇ τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας
/may_be/_nullified the body ¬the ˱of˲_sin
Paul speaks of the body of sin as if it were a condition of slavery that could be cancelled. He means that Christ’s crucifixion removed the ability of sinful desires to control people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternative translation: “God might completely end how living sinfully controls people”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας
the body ¬the ˱of˲_sin
Paul is using the possessive form to describe how the body is related to sin. Use a natural way in your language to express this idea. Here, the body of sin could refer to: (1) how humans tend to sin. Alternate translation: “our human tendency to sin” or “how living sinfully controls us” (2) how sin controls the human body. Alternate translation: “how sin controls our bodies”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τοῦ μηκέτι δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ
that no_longer /to_be/_serving us ¬the ˱for˲_sin
