romiNaH 6
1 prabhUtarUpeNa yad anugrahaH prakAshate tadarthaM pApe tiShThAma iti vAkyaM kiM vayaM vadiShyAmaH? tanna bhavatu|
What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound?
2 pApaM prati mR^itA vayaM punastasmin katham jIviShyAmaH?
let it not be! we who died to the sin — how shall we still live in it?
3 vayaM yAvanto lokA yIshukhrIShTe majjitA abhavAma tAvanta eva tasya maraNe majjitA iti kiM yUyaM na jAnItha?
are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized?
4 tato yathA pituH parAkrameNa shmashAnAt khrIShTa utthApitastathA vayamapi yat nUtanajIvina ivAcharAmastadarthaM majjanena tena sArddhaM mR^ityurUpe shmashAne saMsthApitAH|
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 aparaM vayaM yadi tena saMyuktAH santaH sa iva maraNabhAgino jAtAstarhi sa ivotthAnabhAgino. api bhaviShyAmaH|
For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again;
6 vayaM yat pApasya dAsAH puna rna bhavAmastadartham asmAkaM pAparUpasharIrasya vinAshArtham asmAkaM purAtanapuruShastena sAkaM krushe. ahanyateti vayaM jAnImaH|
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 yo hataH sa pApAt mukta eva|
for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin.
8 ataeva yadi vayaM khrIShTena sArddham ahanyAmahi tarhi punarapi tena sahitA jIviShyAma ityatrAsmAkaM vishvAso vidyate|
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him,
9 yataH shmashAnAd utthApitaH khrIShTo puna rna mriyata iti vayaM jAnImaH| tasmin kopyadhikAro mR^ityo rnAsti|
knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;
10 apara ncha sa yad amriyata tenaikadA pApam uddishyAmriyata, yachcha jIvati teneshvaram uddishya jIvati;
for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;
11 tadvad yUyamapi svAn pApam uddishya mR^itAn asmAkaM prabhuNA yIshukhrIShTeneshvaram uddishya jIvanto jAnIta|
so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 apara ncha kutsitAbhilAShAn pUrayituM yuShmAkaM martyadeheShu pApam AdhipatyaM na karotu|
Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;
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 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 yuShmAkam upari pApasyAdhipatyaM puna rna bhaviShyati, yasmAd yUyaM vyavasthAyA anAyattA anugrahasya chAyattA abhavata|
for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.
15 kintu vayaM vyavasthAyA anAyattA anugrahasya chAyattA abhavAma, iti kAraNAt kiM pApaM kariShyAmaH? tanna bhavatu|
What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!
16 yato mR^itijanakaM pApaM puNyajanakaM nideshAcharaNa nchaitayordvayo ryasmin Aj nApAlanArthaM bhR^ityAniva svAn samarpayatha, tasyaiva bhR^ityA bhavatha, etat kiM yUyaM na jAnItha?
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 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|
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 itthaM yUyaM pApasevAto muktAH santo dharmmasya bhR^ityA jAtAH|
and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the 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|
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 yadA yUyaM pApasya bhR^ityA Asta tadA dharmmasya nAyattA Asta|
for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness,
21 tarhi yAni karmmANi yUyam idAnIM lajjAjanakAni budhyadhve pUrvvaM tai ryuShmAkaM ko lAbha AsIt? teShAM karmmaNAM phalaM maraNameva|
what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death.
22 kintu sAmprataM yUyaM pApasevAto muktAH santa Ishvarasya bhR^ityA. abhavata tasmAd yuShmAkaM pavitratvarUpaM labhyam anantajIvanarUpa ncha phalam Aste| (aiōnios g166)
And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit — to sanctification, and the end life age-during; (aiōnios g166)
