Romanos 6
1 Quid ergo dicemus? Manebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet?
What then shall we say? Should we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Absit. Qui enim mortui sumus peccato, quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo?
Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
3 An ignoratis fratres quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Iesu, in morte ipsius baptizati sumus?
Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?
4 Consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem: ut quomodo Christus surrexit a mortuis per gloriam Patris, ita et nos in novitate vitae ambulemus.
We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 Si enim complantati facti sumus similitudini mortis eius: simul et resurrectionis erimus.
For if we are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of [his] resurrection;
6 Hoc scientes, quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est, ut destruatur corpus peccati, et ultra non serviamus peccato.
knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.
7 Qui enim mortuus est, iustificatus est a peccato.
For he that has died is justified from sin.
8 Si autem mortui sumus cum CHRISTO: credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum illo:
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,
9 scientes quod Christus resurgens ex mortuis iam non moritur, et mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.
10 Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.
For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.
11 Ita et vos existimate, vos mortuos quidem esse peccato, viventes autem Deo, in Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut obediatis concupiscentiis eius.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.
13 Sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato: sed exhibete vos Deo, tamquam ex mortuis viventes: et membra vestra arma iustitiae Deo.
Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.
14 Peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur: non enim sub lege estis, sed sub gratia.
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under law but under grace.
15 Quid ergo? peccabimus, quoniam non sumus sub lege, sed sub gratia? Absit.
What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.
16 An nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad obediendum, servi estis eius, cui obeditis, sive peccati ad mortem, sive obeditionis ad iustitiam?
Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati, obedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinae, in quam traditi estis.
But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.
18 Liberati autem a peccato, servi facti estis iustitiae.
Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.
19 Humanum dico, propter infirmitatem carnis vestrae: sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra servire immunditiae, et iniquitati ad iniquitatem, ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire iustitiae in sanctificationem.
I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.
20 Cum enim servi essetis peccati, liberi fuistis iustitiae.
For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness.
21 Quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in illis, in quibus nunc erubescitis? Nam finis illorum mors est.
What fruit therefore had ye then in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of them [is] death.
