rōmiṇaḥ 6
1 prabhūtarūpēṇa yad anugrahaḥ prakāśatē tadarthaṁ pāpē tiṣṭhāma iti vākyaṁ kiṁ vayaṁ vadiṣyāmaḥ? tanna bhavatu|
What should we say then? Should we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 pāpaṁ prati mr̥tā vayaṁ punastasmin katham jīviṣyāmaḥ?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 vayaṁ yāvantō lōkā yīśukhrīṣṭē majjitā abhavāma tāvanta ēva tasya maraṇē majjitā iti kiṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha?
Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 tatō yathā pituḥ parākramēṇa śmaśānāt khrīṣṭa utthāpitastathā vayamapi yat nūtanajīvina ivācarāmastadarthaṁ majjanēna tēna sārddhaṁ mr̥tyurūpē śmaśānē saṁsthāpitāḥ|
We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 aparaṁ vayaṁ yadi tēna saṁyuktāḥ santaḥ sa iva maraṇabhāginō jātāstarhi sa ivōtthānabhāginō'pi bhaviṣyāmaḥ|
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6 vayaṁ yat pāpasya dāsāḥ puna rna bhavāmastadartham asmākaṁ pāparūpaśarīrasya vināśārtham asmākaṁ purātanapuruṣastēna sākaṁ kruśē'hanyatēti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ|
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 yō hataḥ sa pāpāt mukta ēva|
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 ataēva yadi vayaṁ khrīṣṭēna sārddham ahanyāmahi tarhi punarapi tēna sahitā jīviṣyāma ityatrāsmākaṁ viśvāsō vidyatē|
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
9 yataḥ śmaśānād utthāpitaḥ khrīṣṭō puna rna mriyata iti vayaṁ jānīmaḥ| tasmin kōpyadhikārō mr̥tyō rnāsti|
knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 aparañca sa yad amriyata tēnaikadā pāpam uddiśyāmriyata, yacca jīvati tēnēśvaram uddiśya jīvati;
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 tadvad yūyamapi svān pāpam uddiśya mr̥tān asmākaṁ prabhuṇā yīśukhrīṣṭēnēśvaram uddiśya jīvantō jānīta|
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 aparañca kutsitābhilāṣān pūrayituṁ yuṣmākaṁ martyadēhēṣu pāpam ādhipatyaṁ na karōtu|
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 aparaṁ svaṁ svam aṅgam adharmmasyāstraṁ kr̥tvā pāpasēvāyāṁ na samarpayata, kintu śmaśānād utthitāniva svān īśvarē samarpayata svānyaṅgāni ca dharmmāstrasvarūpāṇīśvaram uddiśya samarpayata|
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 yuṣmākam upari pāpasyādhipatyaṁ puna rna bhaviṣyati, yasmād yūyaṁ vyavasthāyā anāyattā anugrahasya cāyattā abhavata|
For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
15 kintu vayaṁ vyavasthāyā anāyattā anugrahasya cāyattā abhavāma, iti kāraṇāt kiṁ pāpaṁ kariṣyāmaḥ? tanna bhavatu|
What then? Should we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
16 yatō mr̥tijanakaṁ pāpaṁ puṇyajanakaṁ nidēśācaraṇañcaitayōrdvayō ryasmin ājñāpālanārthaṁ bhr̥tyāniva svān samarpayatha, tasyaiva bhr̥tyā bhavatha, ētat kiṁ yūyaṁ na jānītha?
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 aparañca pūrvvaṁ yūyaṁ pāpasya bhr̥tyā āstēti satyaṁ kintu yasyāṁ śikṣārūpāyāṁ mūṣāyāṁ nikṣiptā abhavata tasyā ākr̥tiṁ manōbhi rlabdhavanta iti kāraṇād īśvarasya dhanyavādō bhavatu|
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 itthaṁ yūyaṁ pāpasēvātō muktāḥ santō dharmmasya bhr̥tyā jātāḥ|
Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 yuṣmākaṁ śārīrikyā durbbalatāyā hētō rmānavavad aham ētad bravīmi; punaḥ punaradharmmakaraṇārthaṁ yadvat pūrvvaṁ pāpāmēdhyayō rbhr̥tyatvē nijāṅgāni samārpayata tadvad idānīṁ sādhukarmmakaraṇārthaṁ dharmmasya bhr̥tyatvē nijāṅgāni samarpayata|
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 yadā yūyaṁ pāpasya bhr̥tyā āsta tadā dharmmasya nāyattā āsta|
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 tarhi yāni karmmāṇi yūyam idānīṁ lajjājanakāni budhyadhvē pūrvvaṁ tai ryuṣmākaṁ kō lābha āsīt? tēṣāṁ karmmaṇāṁ phalaṁ maraṇamēva|
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 kintu sāmprataṁ yūyaṁ pāpasēvātō muktāḥ santa īśvarasya bhr̥tyā'bhavata tasmād yuṣmākaṁ pavitratvarūpaṁ labhyam anantajīvanarūpañca phalam āstē| (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)
