1 WHAT shall we then say? Shall we con tinue in sin, that grace may abound? 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 Far be it. How shall we who are dead to sin, continue to live in it? 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 Do you not know, that those of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ have been 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 Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death: so that as Jesus Christ arose from the dead by the glory of his Father, even so we also shall walk in a new life. 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 have been planted together with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also in the likeness of his 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 For we know, that our old selves are crucified with him, so that the sinful body might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 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 freed from sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
8 Now if we are dead with Christ, let us believe that we shall also live with Christ: 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 We know that Christ rose from the dead, and dies no more; and that death has no more dominion over him. 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 in dying he died once to sin: and in living he lives to 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 Likewise, you also must consider yourself as being dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our LORD. 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 sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof. 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 should you yield your members as instruments of iniquity to sin: but yield yourselves to God, just as if you were men who had risen from among the dead, and let your members be instruments of righteousness to 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 Sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are no longer under the law, but under 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 sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it. 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 Do you not know, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are, for you obey him, whether it be to sin or whether it be of obedience to righteousness? 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 thank God that you, who were once the servants of sin, now obey from the heart that form of doctrine which has been delivered to you. 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 Now, being made free from sin, you become the servants of righteousness. 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 speak after the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh: for as you have yielded your members to the servitude of uncleanness and iniquity, so now yield your members to the servitude of righteousness and holiness. 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 you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. 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 kind of fruit did you have then, in the things of which you are now ashamed? for the end thereof 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 now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, your fruits are holy, and the end thereof is life everlasting. 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 wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through our LORD Jesus Christ. 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.
