Romans 6
1 What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
What shall we then say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?
Far be it: for if we are persons that have died to sin, how can we again live in it?
3 Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?
Or do ye not know, that we who are baptized into Jesus Messiah, are baptized into his death?
4 For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
For we are buried with him in baptism unto death; that as Jesus Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
For if we have been planted together with him into the likeness of his death, so shall we be also into his resurrection.
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
For we know, that our old man is crucified with him; that the body of sin might be abolished, and we be no more servants to sin:
7 For he that is dead is justified from sin.
for he that is dead to it, is emancipated from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:
If then we are dead with Messiah, let us believe that we shall live with the same Messiah.
9 Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.
For we know that Messiah rose from the dead, and no more dieth; death hath no dominion over him.
10 For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God:
For in dying, he died for sin, once; and in living, he liveth unto God.
11 So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
So also do ye account yourselves as being dead to sin, and alive to God, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.
12 Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
Therefore let not sin reign in your dead body, so that ye obey its lusts.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
And also give not up your members as instruments of evil unto sin, but give up yourselves to God, as those who have been resuscitated from the dead; and let your members be instruments for the righteousness of God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.
And sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it.
16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.
Know ye not, that to whomsoever ye give up yourselves to serve in bondage, his servants ye are, whom ye serve; whether it be to sin, or whether it be to righteousness, that ye give ear?
17 But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.
But thanks be to God, that ye were once the servants of sin but have now from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted.
18 Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
And when ye were emancipated from sin, ye became servants to righteousness.
19 I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
-(I speak as among men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.)-As ye once gave up your members to the servitude of pollution and iniquity, so also now give ye up your members to the servitude of righteousness and sanctity.
20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were emancipated from righteousness.
21 What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
And what harvest had ye then, in that of which ye are now ashamed? For the result thereof is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
And now, as ye have been emancipated from sin, and have become servants to God, your fruits are holy; and the result thereof is life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)
