Romanos 6
1 Que diremos pois? Permaneceremos no peccado, para que a graça abunde?
To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?
2 De modo nenhum. Nós, que estamos mortos para o peccado, como viveremos ainda n'elle?
No, indeed; how shall we who have died to sin, live in it any longer?
3 Ou não sabeis que todos quantos fomos baptizados em Jesus Christo fomos baptizados na sua morte?
And do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4 De sorte que estamos sepultados com elle pelo baptismo na morte; para que, como Christo resuscitou dos mortos, pela gloria do Pae, assim andemos nós tambem em novidade de vida.
Well, then, we by our baptism were buried with Him in death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from among the dead by the Father's glorious power, we also should live an entirely new life.
5 Porque, se fomos plantados juntamente com elle na similhança da sua morte, tambem o seremos na da sua resurreição:
For since we have become one with Him by sharing in His death, we shall also be one with Him by sharing in His resurrection.
6 Sabendo isto, que o nosso homem velho foi com elle crucificado, para que o corpo do peccado seja desfeito, para que não sirvamos mais ao peccado.
This we know--that our old self was nailed to the cross with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin;
7 Porque o que está morto está justificado do peccado.
for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin.
8 Ora, se já morremos com Christo, cremos que tambem com elle viveremos:
But, seeing that we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him;
9 Sabendo que, havendo Christo resuscitado dos mortos, já não morre: a morte não mais terá dominio sobre elle.
because we know that Christ, having come back to life, is no longer liable to die.
10 Pois, emquanto a morrer, de uma vez morreu para o peccado, mas, emquanto a viver, vive para Deus.
Death has no longer any power over Him. For by the death which He died He became, once for all, dead in relation to sin; but by the life which He now lives He is alive in relation to God.
11 Assim tambem vós considerae-vos como mortos para o peccado, mas vivos para Deus em Christo Jesus nosso Senhor.
In the same way you also must regard yourselves as dead in relation to sin, but as alive in relation to God, because you are in Christ Jesus.
12 Não reine portanto o peccado em vosso corpo mortal, para lhe obedecerdes em suas concupiscencias;
Let not Sin therefore reign as king in your mortal bodies, causing you to be in subjection to their cravings;
13 Nem tão pouco apresenteis os vossos membros ao peccado por instrumentos de iniquidade; mas apresentae-vos a Deus, como vivos d'entre mortos, e os vossos membros a Deus, como instrumentos de justiça.
and no longer lend your faculties as unrighteous weapons for Sin to use. On the contrary surrender your very selves to God as living men who have risen from the dead, and surrender your several faculties to God, to be used as weapons to maintain the right.
14 Porque o peccado não terá dominio sobre vós, pois não estaes debaixo da lei, mas debaixo da graça.
For Sin shall not be lord over you, since you are subjects not of Law, but of grace.
15 Pois que? Peccaremos porque não estamos debaixo da lei, mas debaixo da graça? de modo nenhum.
Are we therefore to sin because we are no longer under the authority of Law, but under grace? No, indeed!
16 Não sabeis vós que a quem vos apresentardes por servos para obedecer sois servos d'aquelle a quem obedeceis, ou do peccado para a morte, ou da obediencia para a justiça?
Do you not know that if you surrender yourselves as bondservants to obey any one, you become the bondservants of him whom you obey, whether the bondservants of Sin (with death as the result) or of Duty (resulting in righteousness)?
17 Porém, graças a Deus que vós fostes servos do peccado, mas obedecestes de coração á forma de doutrina a que fostes entregues.
But thanks be to God that though you were once in thraldom to Sin, you have now yielded a hearty obedience to that system of truth in which you have been instructed.
18 E, libertados do peccado, fostes feitos servos da justiça.
You were set free from the tyranny of Sin, and became the bondservants of Righteousness--
19 Fallo como homem, pela fraqueza da vossa carne: pois que, assim como apresentastes os vossos membros para servirem á immundicia, e á maldade para maldade, assim apresentae agora os vossos membros para servirem á justiça para sanctificação.
your human infirmity leads me to employ these familiar figures--and just as you once surrendered your faculties into bondage to Impurity and ever-increasing disregard of Law, so you must now surrender them into bondage to Righteousness ever advancing towards perfect holiness.
20 Porque, quando ereis servos do peccado, estaveis livres da justiça.
For when you were the bondservants of sin, you were under no sort of subjection to Righteousness.
21 Pois que fructo tinheis então das coisas de que agora vos envergonhaes? porque o fim d'ellas é a morte.
At that time, then, what benefit did you get from conduct which you now regard with shame? Why, such things finally result in death.
22 Mas agora, libertados do peccado, e feitos servos de Deus, tendes o vosso fructo para sanctificação, e por fim a vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the tyranny of Sin, and have become the bondservants of God, you have your reward in being made holy, and you have the Life of the Ages as the final result. (aiōnios g166)
