Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Meshikha Yeshua were baptized into his death?
4 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.
We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Meshikha 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 united with [him] by the likeness of his death, we shall be also [by the likeness] of his 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 might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
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.
7 for he that hath died is justified from sin.
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
But if we died with Meshikha, we believe that we will also live with him;
9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.
knowing that Meshikha, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Meshikha Yeshua.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 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.
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.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye 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? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
16 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?
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?
17 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;
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.
18 and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.
Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 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.
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.
20 For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things 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 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)
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)
