Romans 6
Rom 6:1 What shall we
say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 May it never
be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
Rom 6:3 Or don't you
know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized
into his death?
Rom 6:4 We were buried
therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ
was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also
might walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have
become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be
part of his resurrection;
Rom 6:6 knowing this,
that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might
be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
Rom 6:7 For he who has
died has been freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 But if we died
with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
Rom 6:9 knowing that
Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has
dominion over him!
Rom 6:10 For the death
that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he
lives to God.
Rom 6:11 Thus consider
yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus
our Lord.
Rom 6:12 Therefore
don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in
its lusts.
Rom 6:13 Neither
present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but
present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members
as instruments of righteousness to God.
Rom 6:14 For sin will
not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under
grace.
Rom 6:15 What then?
Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it
never be!
Rom 6:16 Don't you know
that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his
servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of
obedience to righteousness?
Rom 6:17 But thanks be
to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became
obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were
delivered.
Rom 6:18 Being made
free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
Rom 6:19 I speak in
human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you
presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness
upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to
righteousness for sanctification.
Rom 6:20 For when you
were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
Rom 6:21 What fruit
then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now
ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
Rom 6:22 But now, being
made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your
fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.
Rom 6:23 For the wages
of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord.
