1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptised into Christ Jesus were baptised into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; 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. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him, 9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him! 10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. 11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

12 Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 Also, do not 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. 14 For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered. 18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

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. 20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. 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. 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. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 WHAT, then, shall we say, Let us remain in sin, that grace may abound?2 Not so. For how shall they who are dead to sin live yet in it?3 Or do you not know, that they who have been baptized into Jeshu Meshiha, into his death have been baptized?4 For we are buried with him by baptism into death; that as Jeshu Meshiha arose from among the dead by the glory of his Father, so also we in a new life shall walk.5 For if together we have been planted with him in the likeness of his death, so also in his resurrection shall we be.6 For we know that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be abolished, that more we should not serve sin.7 For he who is dead is set free from sin.8 If then we are dead with the Meshiha, we believe that with him, with the Meshiha, we shall live:9 for we know that the Meshiha rose from among the dead, and no more dieth, nor hath death dominion over him.10 For he who died on account of sin died once, and he who liveth liveth unto Aloha;11 so also reckon yourselves to be dead unto sin, and alive unto Aloha by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.12 Let not sin then reign in your dead body, as that you may obey the lusts of it:13 nor prepare your members the instruments of iniquity unto sin, but prepare yourselves for Aloha, as men who from the dead have been made alive, and your members instruments to be for the righteousness of Aloha.14 For sin shall not rule over you; for you are not under law, but under grace.15 What, then, shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? Not so.16 Know you not, that to whomsoever you prepare yourselves to obey him unto service, of him you are the servants, of him whom you obey; whether of sin, or of the hearing of the ear of righteousness?17 But praise to Aloha that you were the servants of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you have been delivered.18 And when you were made free from sin, you became obedient to righteousness.19 As among men I speak, because of the infirmity of your flesh, that as you have prepared your members for the service of uncleanness and of iniquity, so also now prepare ye your members for the service of righteousness and of holiness.20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.21 And what product had you then from that of which to-day you are ashamed? For the end of it is death.22 And now made free from sin, and become servants to Aloha, you have holy fruits, of which the end is the life of eternity.23 For the wages of sin is death; and the gift of Aloha the life of eternity by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
