LO - Romans - 6

6:1  What do we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that favor may abound?

6:2  By no means. How shall we, who have died to sin, continue to live in it?

6:3  Do you not know, that as many as have been immersed into Jesus Christ, have been immersed into his death?

6:4  We have been buried, then, together with him, by the immersion into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father; so we also shall walk in newness of life.

6:5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death; we shall then, also, certainly be in the likeness of his resurrection.

6:6  Knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should not any longer serve sin:

6:7  for he that has died is released from sin.

6:8  Moreover, if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.

6:9  Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies not again; death has no longer dominion over him:

6:10  for that he has died, he has died for sin once: but that he lives, he lives for God.

6:11  So reckon yourselves also dead, indeed, to sin; but alive to God, by Jesus Christ.

6:12  Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, by obeying it.

6:13  Neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness, to sin; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of righteousness, to God.

6:14  Besides, sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under law, but under favor.

6:15  What then do we say? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under favor?

6:16  Do you not know, that to whom you present yourselves servants, by obedience; his servants you are whom you thus obey; whether of sin into death, or of obedience into righteousness?

6:17  But, thanks to God, that though you were the servants of sin; yet you have heartily obeyed that model of doctrine to which you have been given up.

6:18  And being made free from sin, you have become the servants of righteousness.

6:19  (I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.) Wherefore, as you have presented your members servants to uncleanness, and to iniquity, to work iniquity; so present now your members, servants to righteousness, to work holiness.

6:20  For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

6:21  And what fruit had you, then, from these things of which you are now ashamed? for the reward of these things is death.

6:22  But now, being set free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit to holiness: and the end, everlasting life.

6:23  For the wages of sin is death: but the gracious gift of God is everlasting life, by Christ Jesus our Lord.
