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, inG2443 orderG2443 thatG2443 our 7bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be 8doneG2673 awayG2673 withG2673, so that we would noG3371 longerG3371 be slavesG1398 to sinG266; 7for 9the one who has diedG599 is 10freedG1344 from sinG266.

8NowG1161 11ifG1487 we have diedG599 with ChristG5547, we believeG4100 that 12we shall alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him, 9knowingG3609 that ChristG5547, having been 13raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, 14is neverG3765 to dieG599 againG3765; 15deathG2288 noG3765 longerG3765 is masterG2961 overG2961 Him. 10For 16the death that He diedG599, He diedG599 to sinG266 onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time; but 17the life that He livesG2198, He livesG2198 to 18GodG2316. 11SoG3779 you tooG2532, considerG3049 yourselvesG1438 to be 19deadG3498 to sinG266, but aliveG2198 to GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

12ThereforeG3767 sinG266 is not to 20reignG936 in your mortalG2349 bodyG4983 soG1519 thatG1519 you obeyG5219 its lustsG1939, 13and do not go on 21presentingG3936 22the partsG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 23instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 24presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those who areG2198 aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and 25your body’s partsG3196 as 26instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 for GodG2316. 14For 27sinG266 shall not 28be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 29you are not underG5259 30the LawG3551 but 31underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 32Are we to sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 33the LawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 3435FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16Do you not 36knowG3609 that the one to whomG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 as 37slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of that same one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 38sinG266 39resultingG1519 inG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 40resultingG1519 inG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17But 41thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 42though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 4344formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 45freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 1946I am speakingG3004 47inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 48as you presentedG3936 49the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 50resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 51your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 52resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.

20For 53whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 5455benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 56derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 57deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 58freedG1659 from sinG266 and 59enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 60deriveG2192 your 6162benefitG2590, 63resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 64the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222.
