Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
It can not be. How shall we that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Know you not that as many of us as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Therefore, we are buried with him, by immersion, into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should 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 become united to him by the likeness of his death, we shall certainly be united to him by the likeness of his resurrection;
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
knowing this, that our former man has been crucified with him, in order that the sinful body may be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer serve sin:
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
for he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death has dominion over him no longer;
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
for, as it regards his dying, he, once for all, died to sin; but as it regards his living, he lives to God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So also do you count yourselves as dead indeed to sin, but as living to God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Therefore, let not sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey it;
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
and present not your members to sin, as instruments of unrighteousness: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead; and your members to God, as instruments of righteousness.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under 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 law, but under grace? It can not be.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Know you not, that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether of sin that leads to death, or of obedience that leads to righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
But thanks be to God, that though you were the servants of sin, yet you have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching, in which you have been instructed;
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
and being made free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
I speak of what is common among men, oil account of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have presented your members as servants to uncleanness, and to lawlessness, in order to lawlessness, so now present your members as servants to righteousness, in order to holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
For when you were the servants of sin, you were free with respect to righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
What fruit, therefore, had you at that time, in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
But now, since you have been made free from sin, and have become servants to God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
