Romans 6:3-23

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? 4041FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16Do you not 42knowG3609 that the one to whomG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 as 43slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of that same one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 44sinG266 45resultingG1519 inG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 46resultingG1519 inG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17But 47thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 48though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 4950formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 51freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 1952I am speakingG3004 53inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 54as you presentedG3936 55the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 56resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 57your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 58resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.

20For 59whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 6061benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 62derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 63deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 64freedG1659 from sinG266 and 65enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 66deriveG2192 your 6768benefitG2590, 69resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 70the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 71sinG266 is deathG2288, but the graciousG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 72eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
