Chapter 6 | |
1 | What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? |
2 | God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
3 | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? |
4 | Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should 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 might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. |
7 | For he that is dead is freed from sin. |
8 |
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: |
9 | Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. |
10 | For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. |
11 | Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
12 | Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. |
13 | Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. |
14 | For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye 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 ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? |
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. |
18 | Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. |
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 ainiquity unto ainiquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. |
20 | For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. |
21 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the aend of those things is death. |
22 |
But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the aend everlasting life. |
23 | For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
