Romans 6

1 What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?

2 Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?

3 Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection.

6 We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

7 For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him.

9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.

10 The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.

11 So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey it in its desires.

13 Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.

14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!

16 Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?

17 But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

18 You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.

20 For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.

21 What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 ¶ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should 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:

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things [is] death.

22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 What shall we say to this? Shall we then persevere in sin, that grace may be the more powerful?

2 Far be it from us! How shall we live in sin, to which we are dead?

3 Know ye not that all which are baptized into Jesus Christ are baptized into his death?

4 Therefore are we ever buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5 But if we be planted together with him unto like death, we shall be also like unto the resurrection,

6 Knowing that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be put away, that we should not henceforth serve sin.

7 For he that is dead is justified from sin.

8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth not henceforth, neither shall death have dominion over him.

10 For that he died, he died unto sin once: but that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Ye also, take ye heed that ye are dead to sins, and live unto God in Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to render him obedience in his lusts.

13 Neither commit your members to sin for weapons of unrighteousness; but commit yourselves to God, as those who are alive from the dead, and your members to God for weapons of righteousness,

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, because ye are not under the law, but under grace.

15 How then shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Be it far from me!

16 Know ye not, to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, of whom ye are servants, to whom ye are obedient, whether to sin unto death, or to obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be remembered, that ye were the servants of sin, but are now obedient in heart to the pattern of doctrine, to which ye are devoted.

18 Forasmuch then as ye were made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.

19 I must speak of it humanly because of the weakness of your flesh. As ye have given your members to the service of uncleanness, and from one unrighteousness to another; even so now give your members to the service of righteousness, that they may be sanctified.

20 For when ye were the servants of sin, then were ye free from righteousness.

21 What fruit therefore had ye in those days? Of which ye are now ashamed: for the end thereof is death.

22 But now that ye are freed from sin, and have become the servants of God, ye have your fruit, that ye may be sanctified; and the end is life everlasting.

23 For death is the wages of sin: but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ our Lord.
