CHAPTER 6.
1 WHAT shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin,
that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we
live any longer therein?
3 Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ
Jesus, are baptized in his death?
4 For 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.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness
of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 Knowing 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.
7 For he that is dead is justified from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we
shall live also together with Christ:
9 Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth
now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.
10 For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in
that he liveth, he liveth unto God:
11 So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but
alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so
as to obey the lusts thereof.
13 Neither 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.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you
are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under
the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know 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.
17 But 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.
18 Being then freed from sin, we have been made
servants of justice.
19 I 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.
20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free
men to justice.
21 What fruit therefore had you then in those things,
of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become
servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life
everlasting.
23 For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God,
life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
