Romans 6
1 What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving kindness may be multiplied?
¿PUES qué diremos? Perseveraremos en pecado para que la gracia crezca?
2 Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, so how can we go on living in it?
En ninguna manera. Porque los que somos muertos al pecado, ¿cómo viviremos aún en él?
3 Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
¿O no sabéis que todos los que somos bautizados en Cristo Jesús, somos bautizados en su muerte?
4 Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new life.
Porque somos sepultados juntamente con él á muerte por el bautismo; para que como Cristo resucitó de los muertos por la gloria del Padre, así también nosotros andemos en novedad de vida.
5 If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we will also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
Porque si fuimos plantados juntamente en [él] á la semejanza de su muerte, así también [lo seremos á la] de su resurrección:
6 We recognise the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
Sabiendo esto, que nuestro viejo hombre juntamente fué crucificado con [él], para que el cuerpo del pecado sea deshecho, á fin de que no sirvamos más al pecado.
7 For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from sin.
Porque el que es muerto, justificado es del pecado.
8 And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s death, we will also share his life.
Y si morimos con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con él;
9 We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
Sabiendo que Cristo, habiendo resucitado de entre los muertos, ya no muere: la muerte no se enseñoreará más de él.
10 For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.
Porque el haber muerto, al pecado murió una vez; mas el vivir, á Dios vive.
11 So let it be with you – regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
Así también vosotros, pensad que de cierto estáis muertos al pecado, mas vivos á Dios en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
No reine, pues, el pecado en vuestro cuerpo mortal, para que le obedezcáis en sus concupiscencias;
13 Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
Ni tampoco presentéis vuestros miembros al pecado por instrumentos de iniquidad; antes presentaos á Dios como vivos de los muertos, y vuestros miembros á Dios por instrumentos de justicia.
14 For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.
Porque el pecado no se enseñoreará de vosotros; pues no estáis bajo la ley, sino bajo la gracia.
15 What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
¿Pues qué? ¿Pecaremos, porque no estamos bajo de la ley, sino bajo de la gracia? En ninguna manera.
16 Surely you know that when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey anyone, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be a service to sin which leads to death, or a service to duty which leads to righteousness.
¿No sabéis que á quien os prestáis vosotros mismos por siervos para obedecer[le], sois siervos de aquel á quien obedecéis, ó del pecado para muerte, ó de la obediencia para justicia?
17 God be thanked that, though you were once servants of sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
Empero gracias á Dios, que aunque fuisteis siervos del pecado, habéis obedecido de corazón á aquella forma de doctrina á la cual sois entregados;
18 Set free from the control of sin, you became servants to righteousness.
Y libertados del pecado, sois hechos siervos de la justicia.
19 I can but speak as people do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of righteousness, which leads to holiness.
Humana cosa digo, por la flaqueza de vuestra carne: que como para iniquidad presentasteis vuestros miembros á servir á la inmundicia y á la iniquidad, así ahora para santidad presentéis vuestros miembros á servir á la justicia.
20 While you were still servants of sin, you were free as regards righteousness.
Porque cuando fuisteis siervos del pecado, erais libres acerca de la justicia.
21 But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is death.
¿Qué fruto, pues, teníais de aquellas cosas de las cuales ahora os avergonzáis? porque el fin de ellas es muerte.
22 But now that you have been set free from the control of sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever increasing holiness, and the end eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Mas ahora, librados del pecado, y hechos siervos á Dios, tenéis por vuestro fruto la santificación, y por fin la vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
