Romans 6

¹What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

²God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we yet live therein?

³Are you ignorant that all we which are baptized in Christ Jesus, in his death we are baptized?

⁴For we are buried together with him by Baptism into death: that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.

⁵For if we be become complanted to the similitude of his death, we shall be also of his resurrection.

⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.

⁷For he that is dead, is justified from sin.

⁸And if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ.

⁹Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, now dieth no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.

¹⁰For that he died, to sin he died once: but that he liveth, he liveth to God.

¹¹So think you also, that you are dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you obey the concupiscences thereof.

¹³But neither do ye exhibit your members instruments of iniquity unto sin: but exhibit yourselves to God as of dead men, alive; and your members instruments of justice to God.

¹⁴For sin shall not have dominion over you. For you are not under the Law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid.

¹⁶Know you not that to whom you exhibit yourselves servants to obey, you are the servants of him whom you obey, whether it be of sin, to death, or of obedience, to justice.

¹⁷But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart, unto that form of doctrine, into the which you have been delivered.

¹⁸And being made free from sin, you were made servants to justice.

¹⁹I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have exhibited your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity; so now exhibit your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.

²⁰For when you were servants of sin, you were free to justice.

²¹What fruit therefore had you then in those things, for which now you are ashamed? For the end of them is death.

²²But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, but the end, life everlasting.

²³For the stipends of sin, death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord.
