1 What will we say then? We continue in sin so that grace may abound?
2 May it not happen! How will we who died to sin, still live in it?
3 Or are ye ignorant that as many as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into his death?
4 We were buried therefore with him through the immersion into death, so that as Christ was raised up from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we may walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become co-planted in the likeness of his death, then we will also be of the resurrection.
6 Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be inactivated, no longer to enslave us to sin.
7 For he who has died has been made righteous away from sin.
8 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him.
10 For that he died, he died to sin once, but that he lives, he lives to God.
11 So also ye, reckon yourselves to be indeed dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body in order to obey it, in its lusts.
13 And do not present your body-parts as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God, as living out of the dead, and your body-parts as instruments of righteousness to God,
14 for sin will not have dominion over you. For ye are not under law, but under grace.
15 What then? May we sin, because we are not under law but under grace? May it not happen!
16 Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?
17 But thanks to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but ye obeyed from the heart a model of doctrine for which ye were delivered.
18 And having been set free from sin, ye were made servile to righteousness
19 (I speak man-like because of the weakness of your flesh). For as ye presented your body-parts servile to uncleanness, and to lawlessness for lawlessness, so now present your body-parts servile to righteousness for sanctification.
20 For when ye were bondmen of sin, ye were uninhibited by righteousness.
21 What fruit therefore did ye have then, of which things ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now having been made free from sin, and having become servile to God, ye have your fruit for sanctification, and the end, eternal life.
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 What shall we saye then? Shall we continue in synne that there maye be aboundaunce of grace?
2 God forbyd. How shall we that are deed as touchynge synne live eny lenger therin?
3 Remember ye not that all we which are baptysed in the name of Iesu Christ are baptysed to dye with him?
4 We are buryed with him by baptim for to dye that lykewyse as Christ was raysed vp from deeth by the glorye of the father: eve so we also shuld walke in a newe lyfe.
5 For yf we be graft in deeth lyke vnto him: even so must we be in the resurreccio.
6 This we must remeber that oure olde man is crucified with him also that the body of synne myght vtterly be destroyed that hence forth we shuld not be servauntes of synne.
7 For he that is deed ys iustified from synne.
8 Wherfore yf we be deed with Christ we beleve that we shall live with him:
9 remembringe that Christ once raysed fro deeth dyeth no more. Deeth hath no moare power over him.
10 For as touchynge that he dyed he dyed concernynge synne once. And as touchinge that he liveth he liveth vnto God.
11 Lykewyse ymagen ye also that ye are deed concernynge synne: but are alive vnto God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.
12 Let not synne raygne therfore in youre mortall bodyes that ye shuld thervnto obey in the lustes of it.
13 Nether geve ye youre members as instrumentes of vnrightewesnes vnto synne: but geve youre selves vnto God as they that are alive from deeth. And geve youre membres as iustrumetes of rightewesnes vnto God.
14 Let not synne have power over you. For ye are not vnder the lawe but vnder grace.
15 What then? Shall we synne because we are not vnder the lawe: but vnder grace? God forbyd.
16 Remember ye not how yt to whom soever ye comit youre selves as servautes to obey his servauntes ye are to whom ye obey: whether it be of synne vnto deeth or of obedience vnto rightewesnes?
17 God be thanked yt though ye were once the servauntes of synne ye have yet obeyed with herte vnto the forme of doctryne wher vnto ye were delyvered.
18 Ye are then made fre from synne and are be come the servauntes of rightewesnes.
19 I will speake grossly because of the infirmitie of youre flesshe. As ye have geve youre membres servauntes to vnclennes and to iniquitie fro iniquitie vnto iniquitie: even so nowe geve youre membres servantes vnto rightewesnes yt ye maye be sanctified.
20 For when ye were the servauntes of synne ye were not vnder rightewesnes.
21 What frute had ye then in tho thinges wher of ye are now ashamed. For the ende of tho thynges is deeth.
22 But now are ye delivered from synne and made the servauntes of God and have youre frute that ye shuld be sanctifyed and the ende everlastinge lyfe.
23 For the rewarde of synne is deeth: but eternall lyfe is the gyfte of God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.
