Romans 6:12-23

12ThereforeG3767 sinG266 is not to 1reignG936 in your mortalG2349 bodyG4983 soG1519 thatG1519 you obeyG5219 its lustsG1939, 13and do not go on 2presentingG3936 3the partsG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 4instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 5presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those who areG2198 aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and 6your body’s partsG3196 as 7instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 for GodG2316. 14For 8sinG266 shall not 9be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 10you are not underG5259 11the LawG3551 but 12underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 13Are we to sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 14the LawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 1516FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16Do you not 17knowG3609 that the one to whomG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 as 18slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of that same one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 19sinG266 20resultingG1519 inG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 21resultingG1519 inG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17But 22thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 23though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 2425formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 26freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 1927I am speakingG3004 28inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 29as you presentedG3936 30the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 31resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 32your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 33resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.

20For 34whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 3536benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 37derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 38deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 39freedG1659 from sinG266 and 40enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 41deriveG2192 your 4243benefitG2590, 44resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 45the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 46sinG266 is deathG2288, but the graciousG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 47eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
