Romans 6:5-22

5For 1ifG1487 we have becomeG1096 2unitedG4854 with Him in the likenessG3667 of His deathG2288, certainlyG235 we shall alsoG2532 be 3in the likeness of His resurrectionG386, 6knowingG1097 thisG3778, that our 4oldG3820 5selfG444 was 6crucifiedG4957 with Him, in orderG2443 that our 7bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be 8doneG2673 awayG2673 with, so that we would noG3371 longerG3371 be slavesG1398 to sinG266; 7for 9he who has diedG599 is 10freedG1344 from sinG266.

8NowG1161 11ifG1487 we have diedG599 with ChristG5547, we believeG4100 that we shall alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him, 9knowingG3609 that ChristG5547, having been 12raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, 13is neverG3765 to dieG599 againG3765; 14deathG2288 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 15deadG3498 to sinG266, but aliveG2198 to GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

12ThereforeG3767 do not let sinG266 16reignG936 in your mortalG2349 bodyG4983 soG1519 that you obeyG5219 its lustsG1939, 13and do not go on 17presentingG3936 18the membersG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 19instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 20presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and your membersG3196 as 21instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 to GodG2316. 14For 22sinG266 shall not 23be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 24you are not underG5259 lawG3551 but 25underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 26Shall we sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 lawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 27May it neverG3361 be! 16Do you not 28knowG3609 that whenG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to someoneG3739 as 29slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of the one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 30sinG266 31resultingG1519 in deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 32resultingG1519 in righteousnessG1343? 17But 33thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 34though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 35formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were committedG3860, 18and having been 36freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 of righteousnessG1343. 1937I am speakingG3004 in humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 38as you presentedG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 39resultingG1519 in further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 your membersG3196 as slavesG1401 to righteousnessG1343, 40resultingG1519 in sanctificationG38.

20For 41whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in regard to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 4243benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 44derivingG2192 45from the things of whichG3739 you are nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 46deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 47freedG1659 from sinG266 and 48enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 49deriveG2192 your 5051benefitG2590, 52resultingG1519 in sanctificationG38, and 53the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222.
