Romans 6
1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?
WHAT, then, shall we say, Let us remain in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?
Not so. For how shall they who are dead to sin live yet in it?
3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Or do you not know, that they who have been baptized into Jeshu Meshiha, into his death have been baptized?
4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
For we are buried with him by baptism into death; that as Jeshu Meshiha arose from among the dead by the glory of his Father, so also we in a new life shall walk.
5 For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.
For if together we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so also in his resurrection shall we be.
6 We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
For we know that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that more we should not serve sin.
7 For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
For he who is dead is set free from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.
If then we are dead with the Meshiha, we believe that with him, with the Meshiha, we shall live:
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.
for we know that the Meshiha rose from among the dead, and no more dieth, nor hath death dominion over him.
10 The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.
For he who died on account of sin died once, and he who liveth liveth unto Aloha;
11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
so also reckon yourselves to be dead unto sin, and alive unto Aloha by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.
Let not sin then reign in your dead body, as that you may obey the lusts of it:
13 Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.
nor prepare your members the instruments of iniquity unto sin, but prepare yourselves for Aloha, as men who from the dead have been made alive, and your members instruments to be for the righteousness of Aloha.
14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
For sin shall not rule over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!
What, then, shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Not so.
16 Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?
Know you not, that to whomsoever you prepare yourselves to obey him unto service, of him you are the servants, of him whom you obey; whether of sin, or of the hearing of the ear of righteousness?
17 But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.
But praise to Aloha that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you have been delivered.
18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
And when you were made free from sin, you became obedient to righteousness.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
As among men I speak, because of the infirmity of your flesh, that as you have prepared your members for the service of uncleanness and of iniquity, so also now prepare ye your members for the service of righteousness and of holiness.
20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.
For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.
And what product had you then from that of which to-day you are ashamed? For the end of it is death.
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
And now made free from sin, and become servants to Aloha, you have holy fruits, of which the end is the life of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
