| 1 | What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
|
| 2 | God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
|
| 3 | Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were
baptized into his death?
|
| 4 | Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ
was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of life.
|
| 5 | For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall
be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
|
| 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 that is dead is freed from sin.
|
| 8 | Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
|
| 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, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he
liveth unto God.
|
| 11 | Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive
unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
| 12 | Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in
the lusts thereof.
|
| 13 | Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto
sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and
your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
|
| 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 the law, but under
grace? God forbid.
|
| 16 | Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his
servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience
unto righteousness?
|
| 17 | But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed
from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
|
| 18 | Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
|
| 19 | I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh:
for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity
unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto
holiness.
|
| 20 | For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
|
| 21 | What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the
end of those things is death.
|
| 22 | But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your
fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
|
| 23 | For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
