Murdock - Romans - 6

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

6:2  Far be it: for if we are persons that have died to sin, how can we again live in it?

6:3  Or do ye not know, that we who are baptized into Jesus Messiah, are baptized into his death?

6:4  For we are buried with him in baptism unto death; that as Jesus Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life.

6:5  For if we have been planted together with him into the likeness of his death, so shall we be also into his resurrection.

6:6  For we know, that our old man is crucified with him; that the body of sin might be abolished, and we be no more servants to sin:

6:7  for he that is dead to it, is emancipated from sin.

6:8  If then we are dead with Messiah, let us believe that we shall live with the same Messiah.

6:9  For we know that Messiah rose from the dead, and no more dieth; death hath no dominion over him.

6:10  For in dying, he died for sin, once; and in living, he liveth unto God.

6:11  So also do ye account yourselves as being dead to sin, and alive to God, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.

6:12  Therefore let not sin reign in your dead body, so that ye obey its lusts.

6:13  And also give not up your members as instruments of evil unto sin, but give up yourselves to God, as those who have been resuscitated from the dead; and let your members be instruments for the righteousness of God.

6:14  And sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

6:15  What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it.

6:16  Know ye not, that to whomsoever ye give up yourselves to serve in bondage, his servants ye are, whom ye serve; whether it be to sin, or whether it be to righteousness, that ye give ear?

6:17  But thanks be to God, that ye were once the servants of sin but have now from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted.

6:18  And when ye were emancipated from sin, ye became servants to righteousness.

6:19  -(I speak as among men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.)-As ye once gave up your members to the servitude of pollution and iniquity, so also now give ye up your members to the servitude of righteousness and sanctity.

6:20  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were emancipated from righteousness.

6:21  And what harvest had ye then, in that of which ye are now ashamed? For the result thereof is death.

6:22  And now, as ye have been emancipated from sin, and have become servants to God, your fruits are holy; and the result thereof is life everlasting.

6:23  For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is life eternal, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.
