Römer 6

1What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?

3Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death?

4For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.

5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.

7For he that is dead is justified from sin.

8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:

9Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.

10For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God:

11So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.

13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.

14For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are not under the law, but under grace.

15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto justice.

17But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into which you have been delivered.

18Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.

19I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.

20For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.

21What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.

22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.

23For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1Quid ergo dicemus? permanebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet?

2Absit. Qui enim mortui sumus peccato, quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo?

3an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Jesu, in morte ipsius baptizati sumus?

4Consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem: ut quomodo Christus surrexit a mortuis per gloriam Patris, ita et nos in novitate vitæ ambulemus.

5Si enim complantati facti sumus similitudini mortis ejus: simul et resurrectionis erimus.

6Hoc scientes, quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est, ut destruatur corpus peccati, et ultra non serviamus peccato.

7Qui enim mortuus est, justificatus est a peccato.

8Si autem mortui sumus cum Christo, credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo,

9scientes quod Christus resurgens ex mortuis jam non moritur: mors illi ultra non dominabitur.

10Quod enim mortuus est peccato, mortuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.

11Ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato, viventes autem Deo, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.

12Non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut obediatis concupiscentiis ejus.

13Sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato: sed exhibete vos Deo, tamquam ex mortuis viventes: et membra vestra arma justitiæ Deo.

14Peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur: non enim sub lege estis, sed sub gratia.

15Quid ergo? peccabimus, quoniam non sumus sub lege, sed sub gratia? Absit.

16Nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad obediendum, servi estis ejus, cui obeditis, sive peccati ad mortem, sive obeditionis ad justitiam?

17Gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati, obedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinæ, in quam traditi estis.

18Liberati autem a peccato, servi facti estis justitiæ.

19Humanum dico, propter infirmitatem carnis vestræ: sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra servire immunditiæ, et iniquitati ad iniquitatem, ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire justitiæ in sanctificationem.

20Cum enim servi essetis peccati, liberi fuistis justitiæ.

21Quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in illis, in quibus nunc erubescitis? nam finis illorum mors est.

22Nunc vero liberati a peccato, servi autem facti Deo, habetis fructum vestrum in sanctificationem, finem vero vitam æternam.

23Stipendia enim peccati, mors. Gratia autem Dei, vita æterna, in Christo Jesu Domino nostro.

1So what shall we say? Should we remain in sin, so that grace may abound?

2Let it not be so! For how can we who have died to sin still live in sin?

3Do you not know that those of us who have been baptized in Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death?

4For through baptism we have been buried with him into death, so that, in the manner that Christ rose from the dead, by the glory of the Father, so may we also walk in the newness of life.

5For if we have been planted together, in the likeness of his death, so shall we also be, in the likeness of his resurrection.

6For we know this: that our former selves have been crucified together with him, so that the body which is of sin may be destroyed, and moreover, so that we may no longer serve sin.

7For he who has died has been justified from sin.

8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with Christ.

9For we know that Christ, in rising up from the dead, can no longer die: death no longer has dominion over him.

10For in as much as he died for sin, he died once. But in as much as he lives, he lives for God.

11And so, you should consider yourselves to be certainly dead to sin, and to be living for God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12Therefore, let not sin reign in your mortal body, such that you would obey its desires.

13Nor should you offer the parts of your body as instruments of iniquity for sin. Instead, offer yourselves to God, as if you were living after death, and offer the parts of your body as instruments of justice for God.

14For sin should not have dominion over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.

15What is next? Should we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Let it not be so!

16Do you not know to whom you are offering yourselves as servants under obedience? You are the servants of whomever you obey: whether of sin, unto death, or of obedience, unto justice.

17But thanks be to God that, though you used to be the servants of sin, now you have been obedient from the heart to the very form of the doctrine into which you have been received.

18And having been freed from sin, we have become servants of justice.

19I am speaking in human terms because of the infirmity of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of your body to serve impurity and iniquity, for the sake of iniquity, so also have you now yielded the parts of your body to serve justice, for the sake of sanctification.

20For though you were once the servants of sin, you have become the children of justice.

21But what fruit did you hold at that time, in those things about which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

22Yet truly, having been freed now from sin, and having been made servants of God, you hold your fruit in sanctification, and truly its end is eternal life.

23For the wages of sin is death. But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
