Romans 6
1 Someone might [RHQ] say [in reply to what I have written] that [since God acted kindly toward us] in a way we did not deserve [because we sinned], perhaps we should continue to sin in order that he may continue to act even more kindly toward us [and keep on forgiving us]! [RHQ]
Wat zullen wij dan zeggen? Zullen wij in de zonde blijven, opdat de genade te meerder worde?
2 [I would reply], No, certainly not! We [ought to consider that] our sinful desires [MET] [cannot make us do what they want us to do], [just like we cannot make] a corpse do what we want it to do. So it is not right that we continue to sin! [RHQ]
Dat zij verre. Wij, die der zonde gestorven zijn, hoe zullen wij nog in dezelve leven?
3 When we were baptized {[asked someone to] baptize us} in order to show that we have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Jesus Christ, our [being baptized was to declare that it was as though] we died with Christ. ([I want] you to remember that!/Do you not know that?) [RHQ]
Of weet gij niet, dat zovelen als wij in Christus Jezus gedoopt zijn, wij in Zijn dood gedoopt zijn?
4 So, when we were baptized {someone baptized us}, [it was as though] we were buried with Christ. [We were baptized] in order to indicate that [we would not let our sinful desires make us do what they want us to do, just like people cannot make] a corpse [do what they want it to] do [MET]. We [were baptized] to [signify that we would] continually conduct our lives in a new way, just like Christ was caused to live again in a new way by the great [power] of [God his] Father.
Wij zijn dan met Hem begraven, door den doop in den dood, opdat, gelijkerwijs Christus uit de doden opgewekt is tot de heerlijkheid des Vaders, alzo ook wij in nieuwigheid des levens wandelen zouden.
5 Because of our close relationship with Christ, we have [separated ourselves from the former way in which we conducted our lives], just like he [was separated from his physical life when he] died [MET]. But God will also certainly [enable us to live in a new way, just like he] enabled Christ to live again.
Want indien wij met Hem een plant geworden zijn in de gelijkmaking Zijns doods, zo zullen wij het ook zijn in de gelijkmaking Zijner opstanding;
6 We must keep remembering that when Christ died on the cross [MET], [it was as though] our sinful nature [died with him. It has] lost its power to make us do what it wants us to do [MET]. That happened in order that we would not do the sinful [things that our bodies] [MET], which desire to sin, want us to do, and in order that we would no longer have to sin [MET], as slaves [have to do what their masters want].
Dit wetende, dat onze oude mens met Hem gekruisigd is, opdat het lichaam der zonde te niet gedaan worde, opdat wij niet meer de zonde dienen.
7 [We are, as it were, freed] {[free]} [from] sinful [desires] [MET] [controlling us, just like] those who have died are free [from anything controlling them].
Want die gestorven is, die is gerechtvaardigd van de zonde.
8 Since [it is as though] we died with Christ, we believe that we will continue to live with him.
Indien wij nu met Christus gestorven zijn, zo geloven wij, dat wij ook met Hem zullen leven;
9 We know that since [God] enabled Christ to live again after he died, Christ will never die again. Nothing will ever be able to make him die again [PRS].
Wetende, dat Christus, opgewekt zijnde uit de doden, niet meer sterft; de dood heerst niet meer over Hem.
10 When he died, he died once for [people] who had sinned, and he will never die again; but in regard to his living [again now], he lives in order to [serve/honor] God.
Want dat Hij gestorven is, dat is Hij der zonde eenmaal gestorven; en dat Hij leeft, dat leeft Hij Gode.
11 Similarly, you must consider that [it is as though] you have become [unable to do what your] sinful [desires] [MET] want, as a corpse [is not able to do what anyone wants it to do]. You must also consider that because of your relationship to Christ Jesus you are living [in a new way] in order to [serve/honor] God.
Alzo ook gijlieden, houdt het daarvoor dat gij wel der zonde dood zijt, maar Gode levende zijt in Christus Jezus, onzen Heere.
12 So, do not let the [desire to] sin [PRS] control your bodies [MET] with the result that you do the sinful things that you desire to do. [Remember that] your bodies will surely die, [but your spirits will never die].
Dat dan de zonde niet heerse in uw sterfelijk lichaam, om haar te gehoorzamen in de begeerlijkheden deszelven lichaams.
13 Do not let any of your body parts do wicked things, as [you did] [MET] [when you were spiritually] dead. Instead, present yourselves to God as people who are alive [spiritually]. Present all your body parts to God, [to allow him] to use them to [do] righteous things.
En stelt uwe leden niet der zonde tot wapenen der ongerechtigheid; maar stelt uzelven Gode, als uit de doden levende geworden zijnde, en stelt uw leden Gode tot wapenen der gerechtigheid.
14 Do not let a [desire to] sin control you [PRS]. The laws [that God gave Moses] did not enable you [to stop sinning]. But [now] God controls you and kindly helps you [not to sin].
Want de zonde zal over u niet heersen; want gij zijt niet onder de wet, maar onder de genade.
15 [I suppose that certain people might think about what I have just said and they might] say [RHQ], “[You say that] the laws [God gave Moses] did not [enable us to stop sinning, but that God is now] treating us kindly in ways we do not deserve. ([That seems to mean that God permits] us to continue sinning./[Does that mean that God permits] us to continue sinning?) [RHQ]” My reply to that is no, we should certainly not continue [sinning]
Wat dan? Zullen wij zondigen, omdat wij niet zijn onder de wet, maar onder de genade? Dat zij verre.
16 [Slaves] have to obey [what their masters command] [MET] [them to do]. (I want you to remember this./Do you not know this?) [RHQ] Similarly, if you present yourselves to someone [in order to] obey him, you will be the slaves [MET] of the person you obey. Similarly, [if you have yielded yourselves to do the] sinful things [you desire], you are slaves of your sinful desires [PRS], and you will be eternally separated from God. [If you have yielded yourselves] to obey [God], you are slaves of God and you need to [live] righteously.
Weet gij niet, dat wien gij uzelven stelt tot dienstknechten ter gehoorzaamheid, gij dienstknechten zijt desgenen, dien gij gehoorzaamt, of der zonde tot den dood, of der gehoorzaamheid tot gerechtigheid?
17 You were once slaves [to] your sinful [desires]. But you began to sincerely obey the new teaching [MET] that you were taught {that [people] taught you}. I thank God for that.
Maar Gode zij dank, dat gij wel dienstknechten der zonde waart, maar dat gij nu van harte gehoorzaam geworden zijt aan het voorbeeld der leer, tot hetwelk gij overgegeven zijt;
18 [I] also [thank God that] you have been freed {[that] he has freed you} from [being controlled by a desire to] sin, and that you have become [as though you were] slaves [MET] to [living] righteously [MET].
En vrijgemaakt zijnde van de zonde, zijt gemaakt dienstknechten der gerechtigheid.
19 I am illustrating what I say [by talking about slavery] because your human nature prevents you from understanding [spiritual truth] easily. [In the past] you willingly did the immoral and unlawful things that [your minds compelled] your bodies to do [MET], [just like] slaves [do what their masters compel them to do]. As a result, you did even more unlawful things. Now, [you need to] willingly allow [your minds to compel] your bodies to [act] righteously [MET], in order that you will behave in a holy/pure way.
Ik spreek op menselijke wijze, om der zwakheid uws vleses wil; want gelijk gij uw leden gesteld hebt, om dienstbaar te zijn der onreinigheid en der ongerechtigheid, tot ongerechtigheid, alzo stelt nu uw leden, om dienstbaar te zijn der gerechtigheid, tot heiligmaking.
20 When you were [like] slaves [because your sinful desires compelled you to do] sinful things [MET], you were not [concerned about behaving] righteously [MET].
Want toen gij dienstknechten waart der zonde, zo waart gij vrij van de gerechtigheid.
21 Nevertheless, [doing] those things resulted in your being separated from God, so you did not benefit at all from [doing] the [sinful] things that you are now ashamed of. [RHQ]
Wat vrucht dan hadt gij toen van die dingen, waarover gij u nu schaamt? Want het einde derzelve is de dood.
22 But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Maar nu, van de zonde vrijgemaakt zijnde, en Gode dienstbaar gemaakt zijnde, hebt gij uw vrucht tot heiligmaking, en het einde het eeuwige leven. (aiōnios g166)
23 [What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
Want de bezoldiging der zonde is de dood, maar de genadegift Gods is het eeuwige leven, door Jezus Christus, onzen Heere. (aiōnios g166)
