What shall we say
then
? Shall we continue
in sin
, that
grace
may abound
?
God forbid. How
shall we, that
are dead
to sin
, live
any longer
therein
?
Know ye not
, that so
many of us
as were baptized
into
Jesus
Christ
were baptized
into
his
death
?
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
planted together
in the likeness
of his
death
, we shall be
also
in the likeness of his resurrection
:
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 he that is dead
is freed
from
sin
.
Now if
we be dead
with
Christ
, we believe
that
we shall
also
live
with him
:
Knowing that
Christ
being raised
from
the dead
dieth
no more
; death
hath
no more
dominion over
him
.
For in that he died
, he died
unto sin
once
: but
in that
he liveth
, he liveth
unto God
.
Likewise reckon
ye
also
yourselves
to be
dead
indeed
unto sin
, but
alive
unto God
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
.
Let not
sin
therefore
reign
in
your
mortal
body
, that
ye should obey
it
in
the lusts
thereof
.
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
have dominion over
you
: for
ye are
not
under
the law
, but
under
grace
.
What then
? shall we sin
, because
we are
not
under
the law
, but
under
grace
? God forbid
.
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 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
.
Being then
made free
from
sin
, ye became the servants
of righteousness
.
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
ye were
the servants
of sin
, ye were
free
from righteousness
.
What fruit
had ye
then
in
those things whereof
ye are
now
ashamed
? for
the end
of those things
is death
.
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
through
Jesus
Christ
our
Lord
.
