Romans Chapter 6

1What then shall we say? Do we continue in sin so that grace may abound? 2Far from it! How shall we who have died to sin go on living in it? 3Or do you not know that as many of us as have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death? 4Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that as Christ rose from the dead by the glory of the father, so we too should walk in newness of life. 5For if we have been made of a joint nature in the likeness of his death, then we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old man was jointly crucified, in order that the body of sin might be put out of action, so that we should no longer serve sin. 7For he who has died has been cleared of sin. 8So if we died with Christ, we believe we shall also live with him, 9knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, no longer dies; death no longer has dominion over him. 10For as regards the fact that he died, he died to sin once and for all, but as regards the fact that he is alive, he is alive to God. 11Likewise, you also count yourselves to be dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 12Do not let sin reign in your mortal body by obeying it in its desires. 13And do not put your members as weapons of iniquity at the disposal of sin, but put yourselves at the disposal of God, as being living from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness at the disposal of 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? Far from it. 16Do you not know that to whom you put yourselves at the disposal of as slaves in obedience – to him whom you obey – you are slaves, whether of sin resulting in death or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17But thanks be to God, because you were slaves of sin, but you have been obedient from the heart to the form of doctrine to which you were committed. 18But having been set free from sin, you have become servants of righteousness. 19I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For as you have in the past put your members in service to immorality and lawlessness, resulting in lawlessness, so now put your members in service to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. 20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21So what fruit did you then have from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the result of those things is death. 22But now, having been set free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in sanctification, and the result, which is age-abiding life. 23For the wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is age-abiding life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
