Paul's Letter to the Romans, Chapter 6
{6:1} What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
may abound? {6:2} May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we
live in it any longer? {6:3} Or don't you know that all we who were
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? {6:4} We were
buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like
Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we
also might walk in newness of life. {6:5} For if we have become united
with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his
resurrection; {6:6} knowing this, that our old man was crucified with
him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no
longer be in bondage to sin. {6:7} For he who has died has been freed
from sin. {6:8} But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will
also live with him; {6:9} knowing that Christ, being raised from the
dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him! {6:10} For
the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he
lives, he lives to God. {6:11} Thus consider yourselves also to be
dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
{6:12} Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you
should obey it in its lusts. {6:13} Neither present your members to
sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God,
as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness to God. {6:14} For sin will not have dominion over you.
For you are not under law, but under grace. {6:15} What then? Shall we
sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!
{6:16} Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants
to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to
death, or of obedience to righteousness? {6:17} But thanks be to God,
that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from
the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.
{6:18} Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of
righteousness.
{6:19} I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh,
for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to
wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as
servants to righteousness for sanctification. {6:20} For when you were
servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. {6:21} What
fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are
now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. {6:22} But now,
being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have
your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life. {6:23}
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
