1 What{G5101} shall we say{G2046}{(G5692)} then{G3767}? Shall we continue{G1961}{(G5692)} in sin{G266}, that{G2443} grace{G5485} may abound{G4121}{(G5661)}?

2 God forbid{G3361}{G1096}{(G5636)}. How{G4459} shall we, that{G3748} are dead{G599}{(G5627)} to sin{G266}, live{G2198}{(G5692)} any longer{G2089} therein{G1722}{G846}?

3 {G2228} Know ye not{G50}{(G5719)}, that so{G3754} many of us{G3745} as were baptized{G907}{(G5681)} into{G1519} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} were baptized{G907}{(G5681)} into{G1519} his{G846} death{G2288}?

4 Therefore{G3767} we are buried with{G4916}{(G5648)} him{G846} by{G1223} baptism{G908} into{G1519} death{G2288}: that{G2443} like as{G5618} Christ{G5547} was raised up{G1453}{(G5681)} from{G1537} the dead{G3498} by{G1223} the glory{G1391} of the Father{G3962}, even so{G3779} we{G2249} also{G2532} should walk{G4043}{(G5661)} in{G1722} newness{G2538} of life{G2222}.

5 For{G1063} if{G1487} we have been{G1096}{(G5754)} planted together{G4854} in the likeness{G3667} of his{G846} death{G2288}, we shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} also{G235}{G2532} in the likeness of his resurrection{G386}:

6 Knowing{G1097}{(G5723)} this{G5124}, that{G3754} our{G2257} old{G3820} man{G444} is crucified with{G4957}{(G5681)} him, that{G2443} the body{G4983} of sin{G266} might be destroyed{G2673}{(G5686)}, that henceforth{G3371} we{G2248} should{G1398} not{G3371} serve{G1398}{(G5721)} sin{G266}.

7 For{G1063} he that is dead{G599}{(G5631)} is freed{G1344}{(G5769)} from{G575} sin{G266}.

8 Now{G1161} if{G1487} we be dead{G599}{(G5627)} with{G4862} Christ{G5547}, we believe{G4100}{(G5719)} that{G3754} we shall{G4800} also{G2532} live{G4800}{(G5692)} with him{G846}:

9 Knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} that{G3754} Christ{G5547} being raised{G1453}{(G5685)} from{G1537} the dead{G3498} dieth{G599}{(G5719)} no more{G3765}; death{G2288} hath{G2961} no more{G3765} dominion over{G2961}{(G5719)} him{G846}.

10 For{G3739}{G1063} in that he died{G599}{(G5627)}, he died{G599}{(G5627)} unto sin{G266} once{G2178}: but{G1161} in that{G3739} he liveth{G2198}{(G5719)}, he liveth{G2198}{(G5719)} unto God{G2316}.

11 Likewise{G3779} reckon{G3049}{(G5737)} ye{G5210} also{G2532} yourselves{G1438} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} dead{G3498} indeed{G3303} unto sin{G266}, but{G1161} alive{G2198}{(G5723)} unto God{G2316} through{G1722} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} our{G2257} Lord{G2962}.

12 Let{G936} not{G3361} sin{G266} therefore{G3767} reign{G936}{(G5720)} in{G1722} your{G5216} mortal{G2349} body{G4983}, that{G1519} ye should obey{G5219}{(G5721)} it{G846} in{G1722} the lusts{G1939} thereof{G846}.

13 Neither{G3366} yield ye{G3936}{(G5720)} your{G5216} members{G3196} as instruments{G3696} of unrighteousness{G93} unto sin{G266}: but{G235} yield{G3936}{(G5657)} yourselves{G1438} unto God{G2316}, as{G5613} those that are alive{G2198}{(G5723)} from{G1537} the dead{G3498}, and{G2532} your{G5216} members{G3196} as instruments{G3696} of righteousness{G1343} unto God{G2316}.

14 For{G1063} sin{G266} shall{G2961} not{G3756} have dominion over{G2961}{(G5692)} you{G5216}: for{G1063} ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} not{G3756} under{G5259} the law{G3551}, but{G235} under{G5259} grace{G5485}.

15 What{G5101} then{G3767}? shall we sin{G264}{(G5692)}, because{G3754} we are{G2070}{(G5748)} not{G3756} under{G5259} the law{G3551}, but{G235} under{G5259} grace{G5485}? God forbid{G3361}{G1096}{(G5636)}.

16 Know ye{G1492}{(G5758)} not{G3756}, that{G3754} to whom{G3739} ye yield{G3936}{(G5719)} yourselves{G1438} servants{G1401} to{G1519} obey{G5218}, his servants{G1401} ye are{G2075}{(G5748)} to whom{G3739} ye obey{G5219}{(G5719)}; whether{G2273} of sin{G266} unto{G1519} death{G2288}, or{G2228} of obedience{G5218} unto{G1519} righteousness{G1343}?

17 But{G1161} God{G2316} be thanked{G5485}, that{G3754} ye were{G2258}{(G5713)} the servants{G1401} of sin{G266}, but{G1161} ye have obeyed{G5219}{(G5656)} from{G1537} the heart{G2588} that form{G5179} of doctrine{G1322} which{G1519}{G3739} was delivered you{G3860}{(G5681)}.

18 Being{G1659} then{G1161} made free{G1659}{(G5685)} from{G575} sin{G266}, ye became the servants{G1402}{(G5681)} of righteousness{G1343}.

19 I speak{G3004}{(G5719)} after the manner of men{G442} because{G1223} of the infirmity{G769} of your{G5216} flesh{G4561}: for{G1063} as{G5618} ye have yielded{G3936}{(G5656)} your{G5216} members{G3196} servants{G1401} to uncleanness{G167} and{G2532} to iniquity{G458} unto{G1519} iniquity{G458}; even so{G3779} now{G3568} yield{G3936}{(G5657)} your{G5216} members{G3196} servants{G1401} to righteousness{G1343} unto{G1519} holiness{G38}.

20 For{G1063} when{G3753} ye were{G2258}{(G5713)} the servants{G1401} of sin{G266}, ye were{G2258}{(G5713)} free{G1658} from righteousness{G1343}.

21 What{G5101}{G3767} fruit{G2590} had ye{G2192}{(G5707)} then{G5119} in{G1909} those things whereof{G3739} ye are{G1870} now{G3568} ashamed{G1870}{(G5736)}? for{G1063} the end{G5056} of those things{G1565} is death{G2288}.

22 But{G1161} now{G3570} being made free{G1659}{(G5685)} from{G575} sin{G266}, and{G1161} become servants{G1402}{(G5685)} to God{G2316}, ye have{G2192}{(G5719)} your{G5216} fruit{G2590} unto{G1519} holiness{G38}, and{G1161} the end{G5056} everlasting{G166} life{G2222}.

23 For{G1063} the wages{G3800} of sin{G266} is death{G2288}; but{G1161} the gift{G5486} of God{G2316} is eternal{G166} life{G2222} through{G1722} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} our{G2257} Lord{G2962}.
