1 What shall we say then? Shall we con­tin­ue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God for­bid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer there­in? 3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were bap­tized into Je­sus Christ were bap­tized into his death? 4 There­fore we are buried with him by bap­tism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glo­ry of the Fa­ther, even so we also should walk in new­ness of life. 5 For if we have been plant­ed to­geth­er in the like­ness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his res­ur­rec­tion: 6 Know­ing this, that our old man is cru­ci­fied with him, that the body of sin might be de­stroyed, that hence­forth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we be­lieve that we shall also live with him: 9 Know­ing that Christ be­ing raised from the dead di­eth no more; death hath no more do­min­ion over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Like­wise reck­on ye also your­selves to be dead in­deed unto sin, but alive unto God through Je­sus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin there­fore reign in your mor­tal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts there­of. 13 Nei­ther 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. 14 For sin shall not have do­min­ion over you: for ye are not un­der the law, but un­der grace. 15 What then? shall we sin, be­cause we are not un­der the law, but un­der grace? God for­bid. 16 Know 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? 17 But 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. 18 Be­ing then made free from sin, ye be­came the ser­vants of righ­teous­ness. 19 I 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. 20 For when ye were the ser­vants of sin, ye were free from righ­teous­ness. 21 What fruit had ye then in those 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 ho­li­ness, and the end ev­er­last­ing life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eter­nal life through Je­sus Christ our Lord.
