Romans - Chapter 6 | American Standard Version

  • 1. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
  • 2. God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?
  • 3. Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
  • 4. We were buried therefore with him through baptism unto death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
  • 5. For if we have become united with {cf15i him} in the likeness of his death, we shall be also {cf15i in the likeness} of his resurrection;
  • 6. knowing this, that our old man was crucified with {cf15i him}, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
  • 7. for he that hath died is justified from sin.
  • 8. But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;
  • 9. knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.
  • 10. For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
  • 11. Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
  • 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:
  • 13. neither present your members unto sin {cf15i as} instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members {cf15i as} instruments of righteousness unto God.
  • 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.
  • 15. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
  • 16. Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves {cf15i as} servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
  • 17. But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto ye were delivered;
  • 18. and being made free from sin, ye became servants of righteousness.
  • 19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members {cf15i as} servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now present your members {cf15i as} servants to righteousness unto sanctification.
  • 20. For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness.
  • 21. What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
  • 22. But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.
  • 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
