    6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

    7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.

    8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;

    9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him!

    10 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

    11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    12 Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

    13 Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

    14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

    15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!

    16 Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

    17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered.

    18 Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

    19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

    20 For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

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

    22 But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

    15 But the free gift isn't like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

    16 The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification.

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

    18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.
