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?
May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Are you ignorant that we, as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus, were immersed into His death?
Or don’t you know that all of us who were immersed into Messiah Yeshua were immersed 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 immersion into death, that just as Messiah 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 in the likeness of his death, we will also be part 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 with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
7 for he who has died has been set free from sin.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also will live with Him,
But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will 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 Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has 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 to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 so also you, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
12 Do not let then sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
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;
Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 for sin will not have lordship over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
For sin will not have dominion over you, for you 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? May it never be!
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?
Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to 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 you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
18 and having been freed from sin, you became servants to righteousness.
Being made free from sin, you became bondservants 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 in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
20 for when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
For when you were servants of sin, you 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 then did you have at that time in the things of which you 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 having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
