Bible, King James Version
Romans
Rom.6
[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.
