    6 Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

    7 Because he who is dead is free from sin.

    8 But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

    9 Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.

    10 For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

    11 Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

    12 For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

    13 And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

    14 For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.

    15 What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

    16 Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

    17 But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

    18 And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.

    19 I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

    20 When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

    21 What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

    22 But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

    15 But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

    16 And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

    17 For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

    18 So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.
