6:1 |
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
|
6:2 |
By no means: how shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
|
6:3 |
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? |
|
6:4 |
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. |
|
6:5 |
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also of resurrection: |
|
6:6 |
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with , that the body of sin may be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. |
|
6:7 |
For he that is dead is freed from sin. |
|
6:8 |
Now if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: |
|
6:9 |
Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. |
|
6:10 |
For in that he died, he died to sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God. |
|
6:11 |
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
|
6:12 |
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts of it. |
|
6:13 |
Neither yield ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God: |
|
6:14 |
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. |
|
6:15 |
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? By no means. |
|
6:16 |
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants in obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? |
|
6:17 |
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin; but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. |
|
6:18 |
Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. |
|
6:19 |
I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, to () iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness, to () holiness. |
|
6:20 |
For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. |
|
6:21 |
What fruit had ye then in those things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things death. |
|
6:22 |
But now being made free from sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life. |
|
6:23 |
For the wages of sin death: but the gift of God eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
