< Romans 6 >
1 What shall we say then? Let us continue in sin, that grace may abound still more?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sinne, that grace may abounde? God forbid.
2 God forbid! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer in it?
Howe shall we, that are dead to sinne, liue yet therein?
3 Are ye ignorant, that all of us who were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
Knowe ye not, that all we which haue bene baptized into Iesus Christ, haue bene baptized into his death?
4 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.
We are buried then with him by baptisme into his death, that like as Christ was raysed vp from the dead to the glorie of the Father, so we also should walke in newnesse of life.
5 For if we have been made completely like him in his death, we shall be made like him in his resurrection also;
For if we be planted with him to the similitude of his death, euen so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection,
6 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;
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sinne might be destroied, that henceforth we should not serue sinne.
7 for he that hath died hath been set free from sin.
For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him,
9 since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him.
10 For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.
For in that hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God.
11 Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.
Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,
Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof:
13 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.
Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God.
14 For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.
For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace.
15 What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!
What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.
16 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?
Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?
17 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;
But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered.
18 and being made free from sin, ye became the bondmen of righteousness.
Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.
19 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.
I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.
20 For when ye were the slaves of sin, ye were not the bondmen of righteousness.
For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse.
21 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.
What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death.
22 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 )
But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life. (aiōnios )
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is everlasting life, through Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios )
For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios )
