    6We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

    7(For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)

    8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

    9We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

    10For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.

    11So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

    12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,

    13and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness.

    14For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

    15The Believer’s Enslavement to God’s Righteousness What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!

    16Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?

    17But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to,

    18and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

    19(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

    20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.

    21So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.

    22But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

    15But the gracious gift is not like the transgression. For if the many died through the transgression of the one man, how much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man Jesus Christ multiply to the many!

    16And the gift is not like the one who sinned. For judgment, resulting from the one transgression, led to condemnation, but the gracious gift from the many failures led to justification.

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

    18Consequently, just as condemnation for all people came through one transgression, so too through the one righteous act came righteousness leading to life for all people.
