Προς Ρωμαιους 6
1 τι ουν ερουμεν επιμενουμεν τη αμαρτια ινα η χαρις πλεοναση
What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound?
2 μη γενοιτο οιτινες απεθανομεν τη αμαρτια πως ετι ζησομεν εν αυτη
let it not be! we who died to the sin — how shall we still live in it?
3 η αγνοειτε οτι οσοι εβαπτισθημεν εις χριστον ιησουν εις τον θανατον αυτου εβαπτισθημεν
are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?
4 συνεταφημεν ουν αυτω δια του βαπτισματος εις τον θανατον ινα ωσπερ ηγερθη χριστος εκ νεκρων δια της δοξης του πατρος ουτως και ημεις εν καινοτητι ζωης περιπατησωμεν
we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk.
5 ει γαρ συμφυτοι γεγοναμεν τω ομοιωματι του θανατου αυτου αλλα και της αναστασεως εσομεθα
For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again;
6 τουτο γινωσκοντες οτι ο παλαιος ημων ανθρωπος συνεσταυρωθη ινα καταργηθη το σωμα της αμαρτιας του μηκετι δουλευειν ημας τη αμαρτια
this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;
7 ο γαρ αποθανων δεδικαιωται απο της αμαρτιας
for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.
8 ει δε απεθανομεν συν χριστω πιστευομεν οτι και συζησομεν αυτω
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him,
9 ειδοτες οτι χριστος εγερθεις εκ νεκρων ουκετι αποθνησκει θανατος αυτου ουκετι κυριευει
knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;
10 ο γαρ απεθανεν τη αμαρτια απεθανεν εφαπαξ ο δε ζη ζη τω θεω
for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;
11 ουτως και υμεις λογιζεσθε εαυτους νεκρους μεν ειναι τη αμαρτια ζωντας δε τω θεω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων
so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 μη ουν βασιλευετω η αμαρτια εν τω θνητω υμων σωματι εις το υπακουειν αυτη εν ταις επιθυμιαις αυτου
Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
13 μηδε παριστανετε τα μελη υμων οπλα αδικιας τη αμαρτια αλλα παραστησατε εαυτους τω θεω ως εκ νεκρων ζωντας και τα μελη υμων οπλα δικαιοσυνης τω θεω
neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;
14 αμαρτια γαρ υμων ου κυριευσει ου γαρ εστε υπο νομον αλλ υπο χαριν
for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.
15 τι ουν αμαρτησομεν οτι ουκ εσμεν υπο νομον αλλ υπο χαριν μη γενοιτο
What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!
16 ουκ οιδατε οτι ω παριστανετε εαυτους δουλους εις υπακοην δουλοι εστε ω υπακουετε ητοι αμαρτιας εις θανατον η υπακοης εις δικαιοσυνην
have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17 χαρις δε τω θεω οτι ητε δουλοι της αμαρτιας υπηκουσατε δε εκ καρδιας εις ον παρεδοθητε τυπον διδαχης
and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and — were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up;
18 ελευθερωθεντες δε απο της αμαρτιας εδουλωθητε τη δικαιοσυνη
and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness.
19 ανθρωπινον λεγω δια την ασθενειαν της σαρκος υμων ωσπερ γαρ παρεστησατε τα μελη υμων δουλα τη ακαθαρσια και τη ανομια εις την ανομιαν ουτως νυν παραστησατε τα μελη υμων δουλα τη δικαιοσυνη εις αγιασμον
In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness — to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness — to sanctification,
20 οτε γαρ δουλοι ητε της αμαρτιας ελευθεροι ητε τη δικαιοσυνη
for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,
21 τινα ουν καρπον ειχετε τοτε εφ οις νυν επαισχυνεσθε το γαρ τελος εκεινων θανατος
what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death.
