Romans 6:1-15

Dead to Sin, Alive to God

1 What shall we say then? ^aAre we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can ^bwe who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us ^cwho have been baptized ^dinto Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were ^eburied therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as ^fChrist was raised from the dead by ^gthe glory of the Father, we too might walk in ^hnewness of life.

5 For ⁱif we have been united with him in ^ja death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that ^kour old self ^{▼▼Greek man} ^mwas crucified with him in order that ⁿthe body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For ^oone who has died ^phas been set free ^{▼▼Greek has been justified} from sin. 8 Now ^rif we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that ^sChrist, being raised from the dead, will never die again; ^tdeath no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, ^uonce for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves ^vdead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12 Let not ^wsin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 ^xDo not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but ^ypresent yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For ^zsin ^aawill have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Slaves to Righteousness

15 What then? ^abAre we to sin ^acbecause we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
