Romans 6
1 What, then, will we say? Will we continue in sin that grace may abound?
THAT then shall we say? Shall we abide in sin, that grace may abound?
2 Let it not be! We who died to sin—how will we still live in it?
God forbid. We who are dead to sin, how shall we still live therein?
3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into His death?
Do ye not know, that as many as have been baptised into Christ Jesus have been baptised into his death?
4 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.
We have been buried therefore with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become planted together to the likeness of His death, [so] we also will be of the resurrection;
For if we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also of his resurrection:
6 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,
knowing this, that our old man hath been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
7 for he who has died has been set free from sin.
For he that is dead is discharged from sin.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also will live with Him,
But if we have been dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, dies no more; death has no more lordship over Him;
knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death over him hath no more dominion.
10 for in that He died, He died to sin once, and in that He lives, He lives to God;
For in that he died, for sin he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
11 so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
So also do ye account yourselves dead indeed to sin, but living unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof.
13 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;
Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness for sin: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness for God.
14 for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
For sin shall not hold dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? Will we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be!
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 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?
Do ye not know, that to whomsoever ye present yourselves servants to obey, ye are his servants to whom ye obey; if of sin unto death, or of obedience, unto righteousness?
17 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;
But thanks be to God, that though ye were the servants of sin, ye have obeyed from the heart the model of doctrine into which ye were delivered.
18 and having been freed from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
Emancipated then from sin, ye became servants to righteousness.
19 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,
I speak humanly, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have presented your members servants to impurity and iniquity for iniquity; so now present your members servants to righteousness for holiness.
20 for when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit, therefore, were you having then, in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those [is] death.
What fruit therefore had ye then in those things at which ye are now confounded? for the end of those things is death.
22 And now, having been freed from sin, and having become servants to God, you have your fruit—to sanctification, and the end continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
But now being set at liberty from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and at the end life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
