1 What shall we saye then? Shall we continue in sinne, that grace maye abound? God forbyd. What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
2 Howe shall we that are dead to sinne, lyue any longer therin? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3 Knowe ye not, that all we whiche haue ben baptized into Iesus Christe, haue ben baptized into his death? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We are buryed then with him by baptisme into his death, that lykewyse as Christe was raysed vp from the dead by the glorie of the father: euen so, we also shoulde walke in newnesse of lyfe. We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. 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 live a new life.
5 For if we be graft together by the likenesse of his death: euen so shall we be partakers of the resurrection: For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
6 Knowyng this, that our olde man is crucified with hym also, that the body of sinne might vtterly be destroyed, that hencefoorth we shoulde not serue sinne. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—
7 For he that is dead, is iustified from sinne. For one who has died has been set free from sin. because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 And yf we be dead with Christe, we beleue that we shall also lyue with him: Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
9 Knowyng that Christe beyng raysed from the dead, dyeth no more, death hath no more power ouer hym. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
10 For as touchyng that he dyed, he dyed concerning sinne once: And as touching that he lyueth, he lyueth vnto God. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 Lykewyse, recken your selues to be dead to sinne, but alyue vnto God, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Let not sinne raigne therefore in your mortall bodie, that ye shoulde thervnto obey by the lustes of it. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
13 Neither geue ye your members as instrumentes of vnryghteousnesse vnto sinne: but geue your selues vnto God, as they that are alyue from the dead, and your members as instrumentes of ryghteousnesse vnto God. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
14 For sinne shall not haue power ouer you, because ye are not vnder ye lawe, but vnder grace. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the lawe, but vnder grace? God forbyd. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!
16 Knowe ye not, how that to whom soeuer ye commit your selues as seruauntes to obey, his seruauntes ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto ryghteousnesse? Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the seruautes of sinne: but ye haue obeyed with heart the fourme of doctrine, into the which ye were brought vnto. But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.
18 Being then made free fro sinne, ye are become ye seruauntes of ryghteousnesse. and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
19 I speake after the maner of men, because of the infirmitie of your fleshe. As ye haue geuen your members seruauntes to vncleannesse and iniquitie, vnto iniquitie: euen so nowe geue your members seruauntes to righteousnesse, vnto holynesse. I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
20 For when ye were the seruauntes of sinne, ye were free from ryghteousnesse. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.
21 What fruite had ye then in those thynges, wherof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those thynges, is death. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!
22 But nowe ye beyng made free from sinne, and made the seruauntes of God, haue your fruite vnto holynesse, and the ende euerlastyng lyfe. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.
23 For the rewarde of sinne is death: but the gyft of God is eternall lyfe, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
