[1]What shall we saye then? Shall we continue in sinne, that grace maye abound? God forbyd
[2]Howe shall we that are dead to sinne, lyue any longer therin
[3]Knowe ye not, that all we whiche haue ben baptized into Iesus Christe, haue ben baptized into his death
[4]We are buryed then with him by baptisme into his death, that lykewyse as Christe was raysed vp from the dead by the glorie of the father: euen so, we also shoulde walke in newnesse of lyfe
[5]For if we be graft together by the likenesse of his death: euen so shall we be [partakers] of the resurrection
[6]Knowyng this, that our olde man is crucified with hym also, that the body of sinne might vtterly be destroyed, that hencefoorth we shoulde not serue sinne
[7]For he that is dead, is iustified from sinne
[8]And yf we be dead with Christe, we beleue that we shall also lyue with him
[9]Knowyng that Christe beyng raysed from the dead, dyeth no more, death hath no more power ouer hym
[10]For as touchyng that he dyed, he dyed concerning sinne once: And as touching that he lyueth, he lyueth vnto God
[11]Lykewyse, recken your selues to be dead to sinne, but alyue vnto God, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde
[12]Let not sinne raigne therefore in your mortall bodie, that ye shoulde thervnto obey by the lustes of it
[13]Neither geue ye your members as instrumentes of vnryghteousnesse vnto sinne: but geue your selues vnto God, as they that are alyue from the dead, and your members as instrumentes of ryghteousnesse vnto God
[14]For sinne shall not haue power ouer you, because ye are not vnder ye lawe, but vnder grace
[15]What then? Shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the lawe, but vnder grace? God forbyd
[16]Knowe ye not, how that to whom soeuer ye commit your selues as seruauntes to obey, his seruauntes ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto ryghteousnesse
[17]But God be thanked, that ye were the seruautes of sinne: but ye haue obeyed with heart the fourme of doctrine, into the which ye were brought vnto
[18]Being then made free fro sinne, ye are become ye seruauntes of ryghteousnesse
[19]I speake after the maner of men, because of the infirmitie of your fleshe. As ye haue geuen your members seruauntes to vncleannesse and iniquitie, vnto iniquitie: euen so nowe geue your members seruauntes to righteousnesse, vnto holynesse
[20]For when ye were the seruauntes of sinne, ye were free from ryghteousnesse
[21]What fruite had ye then in those thynges, wherof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those thynges, is death
[22]But nowe ye beyng made free from sinne, and made the seruauntes of God, haue your fruite vnto holynesse, and the ende euerlastyng lyfe
[23]For the rewarde of sinne is death: but the gyft of God is eternall lyfe, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde
