King James Version
What then
shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so
that grace may increase
?
What shall we say then
? Shall we continue in sin ,
that grace may abound
?
Certainly
not!
How can
we who
died
to sin live in
it
any longer?
God
forbid.
How shall
we ,
that
are
dead
to sin ,
live any longer therein
?
Or
aren’t
you
aware
that all
of us who
were baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into His death?
Know
ye
not,
that so
many
of us as
were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
We
were
therefore buried with Him through
baptism into death ,
in
order
that ,
just
as Christ was raised from the dead through
the glory of the Father, we too
may
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.
For if we have been united
with
Him
like
this
in His death, we will
certainly
also
be united
with
Him
in 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 :
We
know
that our old self
was
crucified with Him so
that the body of sin might be rendered
powerless
, 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.
For anyone
who
has
died
has
been
freed from sin.
For he
that
is
dead
is
freed from sin.
Now if we died
with Christ, we believe that we will
also live with Him .
Now if we be
dead
with Christ, we believe that we shall
also live with him :
For
we
know
that since
Christ was
raised from the dead ,
He
cannot
die
again
; 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.
The
death
He died, He died to
sin once for
all;
but the
life
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.
So
you
too
must
count
yourselves dead
to sin, but alive to
God in
Christ
Jesus.
Likewise
reckon
ye
also
yourselves to be
dead
indeed
unto
sin, but alive unto
God through
Jesus Christ
our
Lord
.
Therefore
do
not
let sin reign in your mortal body so
that you
obey its
desires
.
Let not
sin therefore
reign in your mortal body ,
that ye
should
obey it
in
the
lusts
thereof
.
Do
not
present
the
parts
of
your body
to
sin
as instruments of wickedness,
but present
yourselves to
God as those who
have
been
brought
from death
to
life;
and
present
the parts
of
your body
to
Him
as instruments of righteousness.
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
.
For sin shall not be
your
master,
because
you are not under law, but under grace.
For sin shall not have
dominion
over
you :
for
ye
are not under the
law, but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly
not!
What then? shall we sin ,
because we are not under the
law, but under grace? God
forbid.
Do
you
not
know that when
you
offer
yourselves as
obedient
slaves,
you
are
slaves
to the
one
you
obey, whether
you
are slaves
to sin leading
to
death, or to
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?
But thanks
be
to
God that
, though
you
once
were slaves
to
sin, you
wholeheartedly
obeyed the form of teaching
to
which you were
committed
.
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.
You
have
been
set
free from sin and
have
become
slaves
to
righteousness.
Being
then
made
free from sin ,
ye
became
the
servants
of
righteousness.
I am
speaking
in
human
terms
because of the weakness
of your flesh .
Just
as you
used
to
offer
the
parts
of
your body
in
slavery
to impurity
and to escalating
wickedness,
so now offer
them
in
slavery
to righteousness leading
to
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.
For when you
were slaves
to
sin, you
were free of
obligation
to
righteousness.
For when ye
were the
servants
of
sin, ye
were free from
righteousness.
What fruit did
you
reap
at
that
time
from
the
things of
which
you
are now ashamed? The outcome
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.
But now that
you
have
been
set
free from sin and have
become slaves
to God, the
fruit you
reap
leads
to
holiness, and the outcome
is
eternal
life.
But now being
made
free from sin ,
and become servants
to God, ye
have
your
fruit unto
holiness, and the end
everlasting
life.
For the wages of sin is death ,
but the gift of God is eternal life in
Christ
Jesus our Lord.
For the wages of sin is death ;
but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ
our Lord.
