Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sinne, that grace may abounde? God forbid.
What, then, will we say? Will we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Howe shall we, that are dead to sinne, liue yet therein?
Let it not be! We who died to sin—how will we still live in it?
3 Knowe ye not, that all we which haue bene baptized into Iesus Christ, haue bene baptized into his death?
Are you ignorant that we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into His death?
4 We are buried then with him by baptisme into his death, that like as Christ was raysed vp from the dead to the glorie of the Father, so we also should walke in newnesse of life.
We were buried together, then, with Him through the immersion into death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we be planted with him to the similitude of his death, euen so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection,
For if we have become planted together to the likeness of His death, [so] we also will be of the resurrection;
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sinne might be destroied, that henceforth we should not serue sinne.
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], that the body of sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving sin,
7 For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.
for he who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him,
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also will live with Him,
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him.
knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, dies no more; death has no more lordship over Him;
10 For in that hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God.
for in that He died, He died to sin once, and in that He lives, He lives to God;
11 Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord.
so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof:
Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
13 Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God.
neither present your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;
14 For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace.
for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.
What then? Will we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be!
16 Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?
Have you not known that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, servants you are to him to whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered.
And thanks to God, that you were servants of sin, and—were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were delivered up;
18 Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.
and having been freed from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
19 I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.
I speak in a human [way], because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as you presented your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness—to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to righteousness—to sanctification,
20 For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse.
for when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death.
What fruit, therefore, were you having then, in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those [is] death.
