RLT - Romans - 6

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

6:2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

6:4  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.

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

6:6  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.

6:7  For he that is dead is freed from sin.

6:8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

6:9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

6:10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

6:11  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

6:12  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

6:13  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.

6:14  For 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? God forbid.

6:16  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?

6:17  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.

6:18  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

6:19  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.

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

6:21  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

6:22  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

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