Romans 6:2-23

21May it neverG3361 be! HowG4459 shall we whoG3748 2diedG599 to sinG266 stillG2089 liveG2198 in it? 3OrG2228 do you not knowG50 that allG3745 of us whoG3745 have been 3baptizedG907 into 4ChristG5547 JesusG2424 have been baptizedG907 into His deathG2288? 4ThereforeG3767 we have been 5buriedG4916 with Him throughG1223 baptismG908 into deathG2288, soG3779 that as ChristG5547 was 6raisedG1453 from the deadG3498 throughG1223 the 7gloryG1391 of the FatherG3962, soG3779 we tooG2532 might walkG4043 in 8newnessG2538 of lifeG2222. 5For 9ifG1487 we have becomeG1096 10unitedG4854 with Him in the likenessG3667 of His deathG2288, certainlyG235 we shall alsoG2532 be 11in the likeness of His resurrectionG386, 6knowingG1097 thisG3778, that our 12oldG3820 13selfG444 was 14crucifiedG4957 with Him, in orderG2443 that our 15bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be 16doneG2673 awayG2673 with, so that we would noG3371 longerG3371 be slavesG1398 to sinG266; 7for 17he who has diedG599 is 18freedG1344 from sinG266.

8NowG1161 19ifG1487 we have diedG599 with ChristG5547, we believeG4100 that we shall alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him, 9knowingG3609 that ChristG5547, having been 20raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, 21is neverG3765 to dieG599 againG3765; 22deathG2288 noG3765 longerG3765 is masterG2961 overG2961 Him. 10For the death that He diedG599, He diedG599 to sinG266 onceG2178 for allG2178; but the lifeG2198 that He livesG2198, He livesG2198 to GodG2316. 11EvenG2532 soG3779 considerG3049 yourselvesG1438 to be 23deadG3498 to sinG266, but aliveG2198 to GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

12ThereforeG3767 do not let sinG266 24reignG936 in your mortalG2349 bodyG4983 soG1519 that you obeyG5219 its lustsG1939, 13and do not go on 25presentingG3936 26the membersG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 27instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 28presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and your membersG3196 as 29instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 to GodG2316. 14For 30sinG266 shall not 31be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 32you are not underG5259 lawG3551 but 33underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 34Shall we sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 lawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 35May it neverG3361 be! 16Do you not 36knowG3609 that whenG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to someoneG3739 as 37slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of the one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 38sinG266 39resultingG1519 in deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 40resultingG1519 in righteousnessG1343? 17But 41thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 42though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 43formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were committedG3860, 18and having been 44freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 of righteousnessG1343. 1945I am speakingG3004 in humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 46as you presentedG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 47resultingG1519 in further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to righteousnessG1343, 48resultingG1519 in sanctificationG38.

20For 49whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in regard to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 5051benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 52derivingG2192 53from the things of whichG3739 you are nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 54deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 55freedG1659 from sinG266 and 56enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 57deriveG2192 your 5859benefitG2590, 60resultingG1519 in sanctificationG38, and 61the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 62sinG266 is deathG2288, but the freeG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 63eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
