Romans 6
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?
By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not
know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were
baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism
into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by
the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall
certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that
our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might
be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died
with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that
Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no
longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once
for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must
consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its
passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for
unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been
brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for
righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not
under law but under grace.
What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace?
By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as
obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin,
which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But
thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become
obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were
committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of
righteousness. I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural
limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to
impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present
your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to
righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the
things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is
death. But now that you have been set free from sin and have become
slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end,
eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
