Paul's Letter to the Romans, Chapter 6
{6:1} What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
may abound? {6:2} May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we
live in it any longer? {6:3} Or don't you know that all we who were
immersed into Messiah Yeshua were immersed into his death? {6:4} We
were buried therefore with him through immersion to death, that just
like Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,
so we also might walk in newness of life. {6:5} For if we have become
united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of
his resurrection; {6:6} knowing this, that our old man was crucified
with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we
would no longer be in bondage to sin. {6:7} For he who has died has
been freed from sin. {6:8} But if we died with Messiah, we believe
that we will also live with him; {6:9} knowing that Messiah, being
raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over
him! {6:10} For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but
the life that he lives, he lives to God. {6:11} Thus consider
yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua
our Lord.
{6:12} Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you
should obey it in its lusts. {6:13} Neither present your members to
sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God,
as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness to God. {6:14} For sin will not have dominion over you.
For you are not under law, but under grace. {6:15} What then? Shall we
sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!
{6:16} Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants
to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to
death, or of obedience to righteousness? {6:17} But thanks be to God,
that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from
the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.
{6:18} Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of
righteousness.
{6:19} I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh,
for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to
wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as
servants to righteousness for sanctification. {6:20} For when you were
servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. {6:21} What
fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are
now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. {6:22} But now,
being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have
your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life. {6:23}
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal
life in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
