Romans 6
1 What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?
God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
3 Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?
Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection;
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
7 For he that is dead is justified from sin.
for he that hath died is justified from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:
But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
9 Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.
knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.
10 For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God:
For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
12 Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.
Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.
But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
18 Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.
19 I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.
21 What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
