What{G5101} shall we say{G2046} then?{G3767} Shall we continue{G1961} in sin,{G266} that{G2443} grace{G5485} may abound?{G4121}

God forbid.{G1096} We{G2198} who{G3748} died{G599} to sin,{G266} how{G4459} shall we any longer{G2089} live{G2198} therein?{G846}

Or are ye ignorant{G50} that{G3754} all we who{G3754} were baptized{G907} into{G1519} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} were baptized{G907} into{G1519} his{G846} death?{G2288}

We were buried{G4916} therefore{G3767} with him{G846} through{G1223} baptism{G908} into{G1519} death:{G2288} that{G2443} like as{G5618} Christ{G5547} was raised{G1453} from{G1537} the dead{G3498} through{G1223} the glory{G1391} of the Father,{G3962} so{G3779} we{G2249} also{G2532} might walk{G4043} in{G1722} newness{G2538} of life.{G2222}

For{G1063} if{G1487} we have become{G1096} united with{G4854} [him] in the likeness{G3667} of his{G846} death,{G2288} we shall{G2071} be{G235} also{G2532} [in the likeness] of his resurrection;{G386}

knowing{G1097} this,{G5124} that{G3754} our{G2257} old{G3820} man{G444} was crucified with{G4957} [him], that{G2443} the body{G4983} of sin{G266} might be done away,{G2673} that{G3588} so we{G2248} should{G1398} no{G3371} longer be{G1398} in bondage{G1398} to sin;{G266}

for{G1063} he that hath died{G599} is justified{G1344} from{G575} sin.{G266}

But{G1161} if{G1487} we died{G599} with{G4862} Christ,{G5547} we believe{G4100} that{G3754} we shall{G4800} also{G2532} live with{G4800} him;{G846}

knowing{G1492} that{G3754} Christ{G5547} being raised{G1453} from{G1537} the dead{G3498} dieth{G599} no more;{G3765} death{G2288} no more{G3765} hath{G2961} dominion{G2961} over him.{G846}

For{G1063} the death that{G3739} he died,{G599} he died{G599} unto sin{G266} once:{G2178} but{G1161} the life that{G3739} he liveth,{G2198} he liveth{G2198} unto God.{G2316}

Even{G3779} so reckon{G3049} ye{G5210} also{G2532} yourselves{G1438} to be{G1511} dead{G3498} {G3303} unto sin,{G266} but{G1161} alive{G2198} unto God{G2316} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus.{G2424}

Let{G936} not{G3361} sin{G266} therefore{G3767} reign{G936} in{G1722} your{G5216} mortal{G2349} body,{G4983} that ye should{G1519} obey{G5219} the lusts{G1939} thereof:{G846}

neither{G3366} present{G3936} your{G5216} members{G3196} unto sin{G266} [as]{G5613} instruments{G3696} of unrighteousness;{G93} but{G235} present{G3936} yourselves{G1438} unto God,{G2316} as alive{G2198} from{G1537} the dead,{G3498} and{G2532} your{G5216} members{G3196} [as] instruments{G3696} of righteousness{G1343} unto God.{G2316}

For{G1063} sin{G266} shall{G2961} not{G3756} have dominion over{G2961} you:{G5216} for{G1063} ye are{G2075} not{G3756} under{G5259} law,{G3551} but{G235} under{G5259} grace.{G5485}

What{G5101} then?{G3767} shall we sin,{G264} because{G3754} we are{G2070} not{G3756} under{G5259} law,{G3551} but{G235} under{G5259} grace?{G5485} God{G3361} forbid.{G1096}

Know ye{G1492} not,{G3756} that{G3754} to whom{G3739} ye present{G3936} yourselves{G1438} [as] servants{G1401} unto{G1519} obedience,{G5218} his servants{G1401} ye are{G2075} whom{G3739} ye obey;{G5219} whether{G2273} of sin{G266} unto{G1519} death,{G2288} or{G2228} of obedience{G5218} unto{G1519} righteousness?{G1343}

But{G1161} thanks{G5485} be to God,{G2316} that,{G3754} whereas ye were{G2258} servants{G1401} of sin,{G266} {G1161} ye became obedient{G5219} from{G1537} the heart{G2588} to{G1519} that form{G5179} of teaching{G1322} whereunto{G3739} ye were delivered;{G3860}

and{G1161} being{G1659} made free{G1659} from{G575} sin,{G266} ye became servants{G1402} of righteousness.{G1343}

I speak{G3004} after the manner of men{G442} because of{G1223} the infirmity{G769} of your{G5216} flesh:{G4561} for{G1063} as{G5618} ye presented{G3936} your{G5216} members{G3196} [as] servants{G1401} to uncleanness{G167} and{G2532} to iniquity{G458} unto{G1519} iniquity,{G458} even so{G3779} now{G3568} present{G3936} your{G5216} members{G3196} [as] servants{G1401} to righteousness{G1343} unto{G1519} sanctification.{G38}

For{G1063} when{G3753} ye were{G2258} servants{G1401} of sin,{G266} ye were{G2258} free{G1658} in regard of righteousness.{G1343}

What{G5101} fruit{G2590} then{G5119} had ye{G2192} at that time in{G1909} the things whereof{G3739} ye are{G1870} now{G3568} ashamed?{G1870} for{G1063} the end{G5056} of those things{G1565} is death.{G2288}

But{G1161} now{G3570} being made free{G1659} from{G575} sin{G266} and{G1161} become servants{G1402} to God,{G2316} ye have{G2192} your{G5216} fruit{G2590} unto{G1519} sanctification,{G38} and{G1161} the end{G5056} eternal{G166} life.{G2222}

For{G1063} the wages{G3800} of sin{G266} is death;{G2288} but{G1161} the free gift{G5486} of God{G2316} is eternal{G166} life{G2222} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} our{G2257} Lord.{G2962}
