- 1. ¶ WHAT shall we then say? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
- 2. Far be it. How shall we who are dead to sin continue to live in it?
- 3. Do you not know that those of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ have been baptized into his death?
- 4. Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death, so that as Jesus Christ rose from the dead by the glory of his Father, even so we also shall walk in a new life.
- 5. For if we have been planted together with him in the likeness of his death, so shall we be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
- 6. For we know that our old selves are crucified with him, so that the sinful body might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
- 7. For he who is dead is freed from sin.
- 8. Now if we are dead with Christ, let us believe that we shall also live with Christ.
- 9. We know that Christ rose from the dead, and dies no more; and that death has no more dominion over him.
- 10. For in dying he died once to sin; and in living he lives to God.
- 11. Likewise, you also must consider yourself as being dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.
- 13. Neither should you yield your members as instruments of iniquity to sin; but yield yourselves to God, just as if you were men who had risen from among the dead, and let your members be instruments of righteousness to God.
- 14. Sin shall not have dominion over you; for you are no longer under the law, but under grace.
- 15. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Far be it.
- 16. Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are; for you obey him, whether it be to sin or whether it be of obedience to righteousness?
- 17. But thank God that you, who were once the servants of sin, now obey from the heart that form of doctrine which has been delivered to you.
- 18. Now, being made free from sin, you become the servants of righteousness.
- 19. I speak after the manner of men because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you have yielded your members to the servitude of uncleanness and iniquity, so now yield your members to the servitude of righteousness and holiness.
- 20. For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
- 21. What kind of fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end thereof is death.
- 22. But now being made free from sin and become servants of God, your fruits are holy, and the end thereof is life everlasting.
- 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.
