    6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

    7For he that is dead is freed from sin.

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

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

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

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

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

    13Neither 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.

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

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

    16Know 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?

    17But 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.

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

    19I 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.

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

    21What fruit had ye then in those 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 holiness, and the end everlasting life.

    15But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

    16And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification.

    17For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

    18Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift came] upon all men unto justification of life.
