1What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
1What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?
2God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?
2In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?
3Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death?
3Or are you without the knowledge that all we who had baptism into Christ Jesus, had baptism into his death?
4For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
4We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
5For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
6Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.
8Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ.
8But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;
9Knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more. Death shall no more have dominion over him.
9Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.
10For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
10For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.
11So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
12For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;
13Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin: but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
13And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.
14For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.
15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!
15What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.
16Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto justice.
16Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.
17But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine into which you have been delivered.
17But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;
18Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
18And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.
19I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity: so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
19I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.
20For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
20When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.
21What fruit therefore had you then in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
21What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.
