ULT ROM Chapter 6

6 What then will we say? Should we continue in the sin so that the grace might increase? 2 May it never be! We who died to sin, how will we still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried, then, with him through the baptism into his death so that just as Christ was raised from dead ones through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of life might walk. 5 For if we have become planted together in the likeness of his death, we will also certainly become part of the resurrection; 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified together with him in order that the body of sin might be nullified, for it to no longer enslave us to the sin. 7 For the one having died has been freed from the sin. 8 But if we died together with Christ, we believe that we will also live together with him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from dead ones, no longer dies; death no longer is lord over him. 10 For that which he died, he died to sin once and never again. But what he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, you also must consider yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12 Therefore, do not let sin rule in your mortal body, to obey its lusts. 13 And do not keep presenting your members as tools of unrighteousness to sin. But present yourselves to God, as living from dead ones, and your members as tools of righteousness to God. 14 For sin must not be lord over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that to what you keep presenting yourselves as slaves for obedience, you become slaves to what you obey—whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that you were slaves of sin, but you listened from the heart to the pattern of teaching that you were given over to. 18 And having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. 19 I speak as a man because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness and to more and more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with respect to righteousness. 21 So what fruit were you then having because of which things you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death. 22 But now, having been freed from sin and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit leading to sanctification, and the outcome is eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
