Romans 6:1-13 ▼

1 What shall we saye then? Shall we continue in sinne, that grace maye abound? God forbyd.

2 Howe shall we that are dead to sinne, lyue any longer therin?

3 Knowe ye not, that all we whiche haue ben baptized into Iesus Christe, haue ben 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.

5 For if we be graft together by the likenesse of his death: euen so shall we be partakers of the resurrection:

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.

7 For he that is dead, is iustified from sinne.

8 And yf we be dead with Christe, we beleue that we shall also lyue with him:

9 Knowyng that Christe beyng raysed from the dead, dyeth no more, death hath no more power ouer hym.

10 For as touchyng that he dyed, he dyed concerning sinne once: And as touching that he lyueth, he lyueth vnto God.

11 Lykewyse, recken your selues to be dead to sinne, but alyue vnto God, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde.

12 Let not sinne raigne therefore in your mortall bodie, that ye shoulde thervnto obey by the lustes of it.

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.
