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. How shall we, that are dead to sin, 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 ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Or do ye not know, that we who are baptized into Jesus Messiah, are baptized 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.
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 might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
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 freed 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 also live with him:
If then we are dead with Messiah, let us believe that we shall live with the same Messiah.
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more 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, he died unto sin 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 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So also do ye account yourselves as being dead to sin, and alive to God, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.
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 dead body, so that ye obey its lusts.
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 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 ye 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 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 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 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 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 made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
And when ye were emancipated from sin, ye became servants to 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 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 ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were emancipated from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things [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, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. (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)
