Romans 6:3-15

3OrG2228 do you not knowG50 that allG3745 of us whoG3745 have been 1baptizedG907 into 2ChristG5547 JesusG2424 have been baptizedG907 into His deathG2288? 4ThereforeG3767 we have been 3buriedG4916 with Him throughG1223 baptismG908 into deathG2288, soG2443 thatG2443, justG5618 as ChristG5547 was 4raisedG1453 from the deadG3498 throughG1223 the 5gloryG1391 of the FatherG3962, soG3779 we tooG2532 may walkG4043 in 6newnessG2538 of lifeG2222. 5For 7ifG1487 we have becomeG1096 8unitedG4854 with Him in the likenessG3667 of His deathG2288, certainlyG235 we shall alsoG2532 be 9in the likeness of His resurrectionG386, 6knowingG1097 thisG3778, that our 10oldG3820 11selfG444 was 12crucifiedG4957 with Him, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 our 13bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be 14doneG2673 awayG2673 withG2673, so that we would noG3371 longerG3371 be slavesG1398 to sinG266; 7for 15the one who has diedG599 is 16freedG1344 from sinG266.

8NowG1161 17ifG1487 we have diedG599 with ChristG5547, we believeG4100 that 18we shall alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him, 9knowingG3609 that ChristG5547, having been 19raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, 20is neverG3765 to dieG599 againG3765; 21deathG2288 noG3765 longerG3765 is masterG2961 overG2961 Him. 10For 22the death that He diedG599, He diedG599 to sinG266 onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time; but 23the life that He livesG2198, He livesG2198 to 24GodG2316. 11SoG3779 you tooG2532, considerG3049 yourselvesG1438 to be 25deadG3498 to sinG266, but aliveG2198 to GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

12ThereforeG3767 sinG266 is not to 26reignG936 in your mortalG2349 bodyG4983 soG1519 thatG1519 you obeyG5219 its lustsG1939, 13and do not go on 27presentingG3936 28the partsG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 29instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 30presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those who areG2198 aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and 31your body’s partsG3196 as 32instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 for GodG2316. 14For 33sinG266 shall not 34be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 35you are not underG5259 36the LawG3551 but 37underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 38Are we to sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 39the LawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 40 41FarG3361 fromG3361 it!
