Romans 6:9-23

9knowingG3609 that ChristG5547, having been 1raisedG1453 from the deadG3498, 2is neverG3765 to dieG599 againG3765; 3deathG2288 noG3765 longerG3765 is masterG2961 overG2961 Him. 10For 4the death that He diedG599, He diedG599 to sinG266 onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time; but 5the life that He livesG2198, He livesG2198 to 6GodG2316. 11SoG3779 you tooG2532, considerG3049 yourselvesG1438 to be 7deadG3498 to sinG266, but aliveG2198 to GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424.

12ThereforeG3767 sinG266 is not to 8reignG936 in your mortalG2349 bodyG4983 soG1519 thatG1519 you obeyG5219 its lustsG1939, 13and do not go on 9presentingG3936 10the partsG3196 of your body to sinG266 as 11instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93; but 12presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 to GodG2316 as those who areG2198 aliveG2198 from the deadG3498, and 13your body’s partsG3196 as 14instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 for GodG2316. 14For 15sinG266 shall not 16be masterG2961 overG2961 you, for 17you are not underG5259 18the LawG3551 but 19underG5259 graceG5485.

15WhatG5101 thenG3767? 20Are we to sinG264 becauseG3754 we are not underG5259 21the LawG3551 but underG5259 graceG5485? 2223FarG3361 fromG3361 it! 16Do you not 24knowG3609 that the one to whomG3739 you presentG3936 yourselvesG1438 as 25slavesG1401 for obedienceG5218, you are slavesG1401 of that same one whomG3739 you obeyG5219, eitherG2273 of 26sinG266 27resultingG1519 inG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 28resultingG1519 inG1519 righteousnessG1343? 17But 29thanksG5485 be to GodG2316 that 30though you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you becameG5219 obedientG5219 from the heartG2588 to that 3132formG5179 of teachingG1322 to whichG3739 you were entrustedG3860, 18and after being 33freedG1659 from sinG266, you becameG1402 slavesG1402 to righteousnessG1343. 1934I am speakingG3004 35inG442 humanG442 termsG442 becauseG1223 of the weaknessG769 of your fleshG4561. For justG5618 36as you presentedG3936 37the partsG3196 of your body as slavesG1400 to impurityG167 and to lawlessnessG458, 38resultingG1519 inG1519 further lawlessnessG458, soG3779 nowG3568 presentG3936 39your body’s partsG3196 as slavesG1400 to righteousnessG1343, 40resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38.

20For 41whenG3753 you were slavesG1401 of sinG266, you were freeG1658 in relation to righteousnessG1343. 21ThereforeG3767 whatG5101 4243benefitG2590 were you thenG5119 44derivingG2192 from the things of whichG3739 you areG1870 nowG3568 ashamedG1870? For the outcomeG5056 of thoseG1565 thingsG1565 is 45deathG2288. 22But nowG3570 having been 46freedG1659 from sinG266 and 47enslavedG1402 to GodG2316, you 48deriveG2192 your 4950benefitG2590, 51resultingG1519 inG1519 sanctificationG38, and 52the outcomeG5056, eternalG166 lifeG2222. 23For the wagesG3800 of 53sinG266 is deathG2288, but the graciousG5486 giftG5486 of GodG2316 is 54eternalG166 lifeG2222 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
