| [1]What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that the grace may abound? |
[1]What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. |
| [2]let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still live in it? |
[2]How shall we, that are dead to sin, live yet therein? |
| [3]are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ Jesus, to his death were baptized? |
[3]Know ye not, that all we which have been baptized into Jesus Christ, have been baptized into his death? |
| [4]we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk. |
[4]We are buried then with him by baptism into his death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life. |
| [5]For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again; |
[5]For if we be grafted with him to the similitude of his death, even so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection, |
| [6]this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin; |
[6]Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. |
| [7]for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin. |
[7]For he that is dead, is freed from sin. |
| [8]And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him, |
[8]Wherefore, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also with him, |
| [9]knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship; |
[9]Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion over him. |
| [10]for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God; |
[10]For in that he died, he died once to sin: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God. |
| [11]so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. |
[11]Likewise think ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. |
| [12]Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires; |
[12]Let not sin reign therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. |
| [13]neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God; |
[13]Neither give ye your members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin: but give your selves unto God, as they that are alive from the dead, and give your members as weapons of righteousness unto God. |
| [14]for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace. |
[14]For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the Law, but under grace. |
| [15]What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be! |
[15]What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid. |
| [16]have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? |
[16]Know ye not, that to whomsoever ye give your selves as servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? |
| [17]and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and -- were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which ye were delivered up; |
[17]But God be thanked, that ye have been the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart unto the form of the doctrine, whereunto ye were delivered. |
| [18]and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to the righteousness. |
[18]Being then made free from sin, ye are made the servants of righteousness. |
| [19]In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to sanctification, |
[19]I speak after the manner of man, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have given your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, to commit iniquity, so now give your members servants unto righteousness in holiness. |
| [20]for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the righteousness, |
[20]For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were freed from righteousness. |
| [21]what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death. |
[21]What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. |
| [22]And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and the end life age-during; |
[22]But now being freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit in holiness, and the end, everlasting life. |
| [23]for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
[23]For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
