| 1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
|
| 2 Be it not so! We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein? |
|
| 3 Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? |
|
| 4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. |
|
| 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; |
|
| 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin: |
|
| 7 for he that hath died is justified from sin. |
|
| 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; |
|
| 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him. |
|
| 10 For the death that he died, he died unto sin once for all: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. |
|
| 11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. |
|
| 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: |
|
| 13 neither present your members unto sin as weapons of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness unto God. |
|
| 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace. |
|
| 15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Be it not so. |
|
| 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? |
|
| 17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered; |
|
| 18 and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness. |
|
| 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness unto sanctification. |
|
| 20 For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness. |
|
| 21 What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. |
|
| 22 But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. |
|
| 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
