Romans 6:2-23

212FarG3361 fromG3361 it! HowG4459 shall we whoG3748 3diedG599 to sinG266 stillG2089 liveG2198 in it? 3OrG2228 do you not knowG50 that allG3745 of us whoG3745 have been 4baptizedG907 into 5ChristG5547 JesusG2424 have been baptizedG907 into His deathG2288? 4ThereforeG3767 we have been 6buriedG4916 with Him throughG1223 baptismG908 into deathG2288, soG2443 thatG2443, justG5618 as ChristG5547 was 7raisedG1453 from the deadG3498 throughG1223 the 8gloryG1391 of the FatherG3962, soG3779 we tooG2532 may walkG4043 in 9newnessG2538 of lifeG2222. 5For 10ifG1487 we have becomeG1096 11unitedG4854 with Him in the likenessG3667 of His deathG2288, certainlyG235 we shall alsoG2532 be 12in the likeness of His resurrectionG386, 6knowingG1097 thisG3778, that our 13oldG3820 14selfG444 was 15crucifiedG4957 with Him, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 our 16bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be 17doneG2673 awayG2673 withG2673, so that we would noG3371 longerG3371 be slavesG1398 to sinG266; 7for 18the one who has diedG599 is 19freedG1344 from sinG266.

8NowG1161 20ifG1487 we have diedG599 with ChristG5547, we believeG4100 that 21we shall alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him, 9knowingG3609 that ChristG5547, having been 22raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, 23is neverG3765 to dieG599 againG3765; 24deathG2288 noG3765 longerG3765 is masterG2961 overG2961 Him. 10For 25the death that He diedG599, He diedG599 to sinG266 onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time; but 26the life that He livesG2198, He livesG2198 to 27GodG2316. 11SoG3779 you tooG2532, considerG3049 yourselvesG1438 to be 28deadG3498 to sinG266, but aliveG2198 to GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

12ThereforeG3767 sinG266 is not to 29reignG936 in your mortalG2349 bodyG4983 soG1519 thatG1519 you obeyG5219 its lustsG1939, 13and do not go on 30presentingG3936 31the partsG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 32instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 33presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those who areG2198 aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and 34your body’s partsG3196 as 35instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 for GodG2316. 14For 36sinG266 shall not 37be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 38you are not underG5259 39the LawG3551 but 40underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 41Are we to sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 42the LawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 4344FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16Do you not 45knowG3609 that the one to whomG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 as 46slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of that same one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 47sinG266 48resultingG1519 inG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 49resultingG1519 inG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17But 50thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 51though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 5253formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 54freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 1955I am speakingG3004 56inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 57as you presentedG3936 58the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 59resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 60your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 61resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.

20For 62whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 6364benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 65derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 66deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 67freedG1659 from sinG266 and 68enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 69deriveG2192 your 7071benefitG2590, 72resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 73the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 74sinG266 is deathG2288, but the graciousG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 75eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
