< Romans 6 >
1 What do we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that favor may abound?
What then will we say? (Shall we continue *N(k)(o)*) in sin that grace may abound?
2 By no means. How shall we, who have died to sin, continue to live in it?
Never would it be! Who we died to sin, how still will we live in it?
3 Do you not know, that as many as have been immersed into Jesus Christ, have been immersed into his death?
Or are you unaware that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus, into the death of Him were baptized?
4 We have been buried, then, together with him, by the immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father; so we also shall walk in newness of life.
We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death, so that just as was raised up Christ out from [the] dead through the glory of the Father, so also we ourselves in newness of life may walk.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death; we shall then, also, certainly be in the likeness of his resurrection.
If for united we have become in the likeness of the death of Him, certainly also of the resurrection we will be;
6 Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should not any longer serve sin:
this knowing that the old of us self was crucified with [Him], so that may be annulled the body of sin [that] no longer being enslaved we to sin.
7 for he that has died is released from sin.
The [one] for having died he has been freed from sin.
8 Moreover, if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.
If now we died with Christ, we believe that also we will live with Him,
9 Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies not again; death has no longer dominion over him:
knowing that Christ having been raised up out from [the] dead no longer no longer dies; Death over Him no longer no longer rules.
10 for that he has died, he has died for sin once: but that he lives, he lives for God.
That which for He died, to sin He died once for all; that which however He lives, He lives to God.
11 So reckon yourselves also dead, indeed, to sin; but alive to God, by Jesus Christ.
So also do consider yourselves to be dead indeed to sin living however to God in Christ Jesus (the Lord of us. *K*)
12 Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, by obeying it.
Not therefore should reign sin in the mortal of you body in order to obey (it in *K*) the desires of it,
13 Neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness, to sin; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of righteousness, to God.
Neither do yield the members of you [as] instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but do yield yourselves to God (as *N(k)O*) out from [the] dead living and the members of you [as] instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Besides, sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under law, but under favor.
Sin for you not will rule over; not for you are under law but under grace.
15 What then do we say? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under favor?
What then? (Shall we sin *N(k)O*) because not we are under law but under grace? Never would it be!
16 Do you not know, that to whom you present yourselves servants, by obedience; his servants you are whom you thus obey; whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?
Not know you that to whom you yield yourselves [as] slaves for obedience, slaves you are to him whom you obey, whether of sin to death or of obedience to righteousness?
17 But, thanks to God, that though you were the servants of sin; yet you have heartily obeyed that model of doctrine to which you have been given up.
Thanks [be] however to God that you were slaves of sin, you have become obedient now from [the] heart to which you were handed over to the form of teaching.
18 And being made free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness.
Having been set free now from sin you have become slaves to righteousness.
19 (I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.) Wherefore, as you have presented your members servants to uncleanness, and to iniquity, to work iniquity; so present now your members, servants to righteousness, to work holiness.
In human terms I speak on account of the weakness of the flesh of you. For as for you yielded the members of you [as] slaves to impurity and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now do yield the members of you [as] slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.
20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
When for slaves you were of sin, free you were from righteousness.
21 And what fruit had you, then, from these things of which you are now ashamed? for the reward of these things is death.
What therefore fruit had you then in the [things] of which now you are ashamed? The for end of those things [is] death.
22 But now, being set free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit to holiness: and the end, everlasting life. (aiōnios )
Now however having been set free from sin having become slaves now to God you have the fruit of you unto sanctification, now the end [is] life eternal. (aiōnios )
23 For the wages of sin is death: but the gracious gift of God is everlasting life, by Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios )
The for wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God life eternal in Christ Jesus the Lord of us. (aiōnios )
