Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more?
2 Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it?
3 Or do you not know that all we who were immersed into Messiah Yeshua were immersed into his death?
Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
4 We were buried therefore with him through immersion to death, that just like Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
We then by this baptism into his death were buried with him; that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also;
6 knowing this, that our old self 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.
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin;
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.
8 But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him;
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
9 knowing that Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.
10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
11 In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua.
Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,
13 Neither 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.
nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.
14 For sin will not have dominion 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? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!
16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Know ye not, that whomever ye choose to obey as a master, his bondmen ye are, whether of sin whose fruit is death, or of obedience whose fruit is righteousness?
17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
But thanks be to God that, though ye were the bondmen of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching which was delivered to you;
18 Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
and being made free from sin, ye became the bondmen of righteousness.
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.
I speak in a way common among men on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as ye once yielded your members as slaves to impurity and to iniquity, in order to commit iniquity, so now yield your members as bondmen to righteousness in order to become holy.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness.
21 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.
What fruit then had ye at that time from those things of which ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now, being made free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
But now having been delivered from the slavery of sin, and having become the bondservants of God, ye have holiness as the fruit, and everlasting life as the end. (aiōnios g166)
