1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 Certainly not. How shall we who are dead to sin live any longer in it?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 Do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?

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, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

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 united together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection.

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 was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

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 has died is freed from sin.

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9 Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has dominion over Him.

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

11 Likewise, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey its lusts.

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 And do not yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

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 you are not under the law but under grace.

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? Certainly not.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, you are the servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

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 though you were servants of sin, you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

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 And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as servants of uncleanness and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness for holiness.

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 you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

22 But now, having been freed from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life.

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.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
