Romans 6

¹What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sinne, that grace may abounde? God forbid.

²Howe shall we, that are dead to sinne, liue yet therein?

³Knowe ye not, that all we which haue bene baptized into Iesus Christ, haue bene baptized into his death?

⁴We are buried then with him by baptisme into his death, that like as Christ was raysed vp from the dead to the glorie of the Father, so we also should walke in newnesse of life.

⁵For if we be planted with him to the similitude of his death, euen so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection,

⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sinne might be destroied, that henceforth we should not serue sinne.

⁷For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.

⁸Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him,

⁹Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him.

¹⁰For in that hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God.

¹¹Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord.

¹²Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof:

¹³Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God.

¹⁴For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace.

¹⁵What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.

¹⁶Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?

¹⁷But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered.

¹⁸Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.

¹⁹I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.

²⁰For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse.

²¹What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death.

²²But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life.

²³For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6

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

²God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

³Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

⁴Therefore 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.

⁵For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

⁶Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

⁷For he that is dead is freed from sin.

⁸Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

⁹Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

¹⁰For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

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

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

¹³Neither 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.

¹⁴For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁵What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

¹⁶Know 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?

¹⁷But 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.

¹⁸Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

¹⁹I 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.

²⁰For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

²¹What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

²²But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

²³For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
