Romans, Chapter 6
1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have becomeaunited with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also bebin the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our oldcself was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might beddone away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died isefreed from sin. | |
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead,fis never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. | |
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13 and do not go on presentinggthe members of your body to sin ashinstruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members asiinstruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. | |
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sinjresulting in death, or of obediencekresulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God thatlthough you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness,mresulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness,nresulting in sanctification. | |
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore whatobenefit were you thenpderivingqfrom the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, yourderive yoursbenefit,tresulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
