romiNaH 6
1 prabhUtarUpeNa yad anugrahaH prakAshate tadarthaM pApe tiShThAma iti vAkyaM kiM vayaM vadiShyAmaH? tanna bhavatu|
What should we say then? Should we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 pApaM prati mR^itA vayaM punastasmin katham jIviShyAmaH?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 vayaM yAvanto lokA yIshukhrIShTe majjitA abhavAma tAvanta eva tasya maraNe majjitA iti kiM yUyaM na jAnItha?
Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 tato yathA pituH parAkrameNa shmashAnAt khrIShTa utthApitastathA vayamapi yat nUtanajIvina ivAcharAmastadarthaM majjanena tena sArddhaM mR^ityurUpe shmashAne saMsthApitAH|
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 aparaM vayaM yadi tena saMyuktAH santaH sa iva maraNabhAgino jAtAstarhi sa ivotthAnabhAgino. api bhaviShyAmaH|
For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6 vayaM yat pApasya dAsAH puna rna bhavAmastadartham asmAkaM pAparUpasharIrasya vinAshArtham asmAkaM purAtanapuruShastena sAkaM krushe. ahanyateti vayaM jAnImaH|
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 yo hataH sa pApAt mukta eva|
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 ataeva yadi vayaM khrIShTena sArddham ahanyAmahi tarhi punarapi tena sahitA jIviShyAma ityatrAsmAkaM vishvAso vidyate|
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
9 yataH shmashAnAd utthApitaH khrIShTo puna rna mriyata iti vayaM jAnImaH| tasmin kopyadhikAro mR^ityo rnAsti|
knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 apara ncha sa yad amriyata tenaikadA pApam uddishyAmriyata, yachcha jIvati teneshvaram uddishya jIvati;
For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 tadvad yUyamapi svAn pApam uddishya mR^itAn asmAkaM prabhuNA yIshukhrIShTeneshvaram uddishya jIvanto jAnIta|
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 apara ncha kutsitAbhilAShAn pUrayituM yuShmAkaM martyadeheShu pApam AdhipatyaM na karotu|
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 aparaM svaM svam a Ngam adharmmasyAstraM kR^itvA pApasevAyAM na samarpayata, kintu shmashAnAd utthitAniva svAn Ishvare samarpayata svAnya NgAni cha dharmmAstrasvarUpANIshvaram uddishya 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 yuShmAkam upari pApasyAdhipatyaM puna rna bhaviShyati, yasmAd yUyaM vyavasthAyA anAyattA anugrahasya chAyattA abhavata|
For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
15 kintu vayaM vyavasthAyA anAyattA anugrahasya chAyattA abhavAma, iti kAraNAt kiM pApaM kariShyAmaH? tanna bhavatu|
What then? Should we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Absolutely not.
16 yato mR^itijanakaM pApaM puNyajanakaM nideshAcharaNa nchaitayordvayo ryasmin Aj nApAlanArthaM bhR^ityAniva svAn samarpayatha, tasyaiva bhR^ityA bhavatha, etat kiM yUyaM na jAnItha?
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 apara ncha pUrvvaM yUyaM pApasya bhR^ityA Asteti satyaM kintu yasyAM shikShArUpAyAM mUShAyAM nikShiptA abhavata tasyA AkR^itiM manobhi rlabdhavanta iti kAraNAd Ishvarasya dhanyavAdo 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 itthaM yUyaM pApasevAto muktAH santo dharmmasya bhR^ityA jAtAH|
Being made free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 yuShmAkaM shArIrikyA durbbalatAyA heto rmAnavavad aham etad bravImi; punaH punaradharmmakaraNArthaM yadvat pUrvvaM pApAmedhyayo rbhR^ityatve nijA NgAni samArpayata tadvad idAnIM sAdhukarmmakaraNArthaM dharmmasya bhR^ityatve nijA NgAni 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 yadA yUyaM pApasya bhR^ityA Asta tadA dharmmasya nAyattA Asta|
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 tarhi yAni karmmANi yUyam idAnIM lajjAjanakAni budhyadhve pUrvvaM tai ryuShmAkaM ko lAbha AsIt? teShAM karmmaNAM phalaM maraNameva|
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 sAmprataM yUyaM pApasevAto muktAH santa Ishvarasya bhR^ityA. abhavata tasmAd yuShmAkaM pavitratvarUpaM labhyam anantajIvanarUpa ncha phalam Aste| (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)
