    6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

    7for he that hath died is justified from sin.

    8But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

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

    10For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

    11Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

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

    13neither present your members unto sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.

    14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.

    15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

    16Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves [as] servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

    17But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;

    18and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.

    19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members [as] servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members [as] servants to righteousness unto sanctification.

    20For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.

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

    22But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

    15But not as the trespass, so also [is] the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many.

    16And not as through one that sinned, [so] is the gift: for the judgment [came] of one unto condemnation, but the free gift [came] of many trespasses unto justification.

    17For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, [even] Jesus Christ.

    18So then as through one trespass [the judgment came] unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of righteousness [the free gift came] unto all men to justification of life.
