6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, so that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ [Jesus][fn] were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore, we were buried with him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection; 6 knowing this, that our old man[fn] was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; 7 For the one who has died has been justified[fn] from sin.
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him.
10 For what has died, has died to sin once for all; but what lives, lives to God. 11 So also you, consider yourselves [to be][fn] dead indeed to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus [[our Lord]].[fn]
12 Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey {its desires},[fn] 13 and do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall 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? By no means! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves as slaves for obedience, you are slaves to the one you obey, either of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you have obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 Having been freed from sin, you became slaves to righteousness.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness into lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness into sanctification.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now, having been set free from sin and having become slaves to God, you have your fruit into sanctification, and the end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
