Romans 6
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Quid ergo dicemus? permanebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet?
2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
Absit. Qui enim mortui sumus peccato, quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo?
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Jesu, in morte ipsius baptizati sumus?
4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem: ut quomodo Christus surrexit a mortuis per gloriam Patris, ita et nos in novitate vitæ ambulemus.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
Si enim complantati facti sumus similitudini mortis ejus: simul et resurrectionis erimus.
6 knowing this, that our old man 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.
Hoc scientes, quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est, ut destruatur corpus peccati, et ultra non serviamus peccato.
7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
Qui enim mortuus est, justificatus est a peccato.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
Si autem mortui sumus cum Christo, credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo,
9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
scientes quod Christus resurgens ex mortuis jam non moritur: mors illi ultra non dominabitur.
10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.
11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato, viventes autem Deo, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut obediatis concupiscentiis ejus.
13 Also, do not 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.
Sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato: sed exhibete vos Deo, tamquam ex mortuis viventes: et membra vestra arma justitiæ Deo.
14 For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
Peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur: non enim sub lege estis, sed sub gratia.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
Quid ergo? peccabimus, quoniam non sumus sub lege, sed sub gratia? Absit.
16 Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
Nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad obediendum, servi estis ejus, cui obeditis, sive peccati ad mortem, sive obeditionis ad justitiam?
17 But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
Gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati, obedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinæ, in quam traditi estis.
18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
Liberati autem a peccato, servi facti estis justitiæ.
19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
Humanum dico, propter infirmitatem carnis vestræ: sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra servire immunditiæ, et iniquitati ad iniquitatem, ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire justitiæ in sanctificationem.
20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
Cum enim servi essetis peccati, liberi fuistis justitiæ.
21 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.
Quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in illis, in quibus nunc erubescitis? nam finis illorum mors est.
