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?
Absolutely not. We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3 Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?
Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Meshikha Yeshua 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 to death, that just like Meshikha 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 will also be part 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 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 For he that is dead is justified from sin.
For he who has died has been freed 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 Meshikha, we believe that we will 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 Meshikha, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has 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 to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11 So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Meshikha Yeshua.
12 Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
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 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 For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.
For sin will not have dominion over you. For you 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? Absolutely not.
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.
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 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 you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
Being made free from sin, you became slaves 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 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 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to 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 did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting. (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)
