    6Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

    7For he who has died is freed from sin.

    8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him.

    9Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has dominion over Him.

    10For the death that He died, He died to sin once; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

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

    12Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey its lusts.

    13And do not yield your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

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

    15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Certainly not.

    16Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, you are the servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

    17But God be thanked that though you were servants of sin, you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

    18And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.

    19I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as servants of uncleanness and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness for holiness.

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

    21What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

    22But now, having been freed from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end everlasting life.

    15But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of one many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.

    16And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification.

    17For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.

    18Therefore, as through one offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one act of righteousness the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.
