Romans 6:1-13 ▼

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 (submerged) into Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves) were baptized into His death?

4 We were therefore buried with Him through baptism (submersion) into death, in order that, just as Christ (the Anointed One) was raised from the dead through the glory {doxēs} 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 (rising again).

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 (the Anointed One), we believe that we will also live with Him.

9 For we know that since Christ (the Anointed One) 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 {Theō}.

11 So you⁺ too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God {Theō} in Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves).

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

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