Romans 6
1 What, then, will we say? Will we continue in sin that grace may abound?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue 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 died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into His death?
Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized 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 were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might 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 become united with [him] by the likeness of his death, we shall be also [by the likeness] 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 was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
7 for he who has died has been set free from sin.
for he that hath died is justified from sin.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also will live with Him,
But if we died 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 no more hath dominion over him.
10 for in that He died, He died to sin once, and in that He lives, He lives to God;
For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
12 Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts 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 unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under 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 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?
Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether 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, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
18 and having been freed from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
and being made free from sin, ye became servants of 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 after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
20 for when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of 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 then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? 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 made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
