Dead to sin
What should we say then? Should we go on sinning so grace can increase? Absolutely not. How can we who died to sin go on living in it? Don't you know that all of us who were baptised into Jesus Christ were baptised into his death? So we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too should walk in newness of life. Because if we have been joined together with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be joined with him in the likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this: that our old self was crucified with him, so the body of sin might be done away with, and we should no longer be slaves to sin. Because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death has no more power over him. For the death he died, he died to sin once for all. But the life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So don't let sin reign in your mortal body, making you obey its cravings. And don't offer the parts of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness. Instead offer yourselves to God, as men brought from death to life, and offer the parts of your body to God as instruments of righteousness. Because sin won't have power over you, since you aren't under law but under grace.
What'll we say then? Should we go on in sin, so grace can grow? God forbid. How will we who are dead to sin live any longer in it? Don't you know that as many of us as were baptised into Jesus Christ were baptised into his death? So we're buried with him by baptism into death — so the way Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, that's how we should walk in newness of life too. Because if we've been planted together in the likeness of his death, we'll be in the likeness of his rising again too. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, so the body of sin could be wrecked, so from now on we shouldn't serve sin. Because the one who's dead is freed from sin. Now if we're dead with Christ, we believe we'll live with him too. Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, doesn't die any more. Death has no more rule over him. Because in that he died, he died to sin once. But in that he lives, he lives to God. So count yourselves too to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So don't let sin rule in your body that dies, so you obey it in the things it wants. And don't hand over your parts as tools of unrighteousness to sin. But hand yourselves over to God, as ones alive from the dead, and your parts as tools of righteousness to God. Because sin won't have rule over you. Because you aren't under the teaching but under grace.
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 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. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 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. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 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. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
What should we say then? Should we go on sinning so grace can increase?
What'll we say then? Should we go on in sin, so grace can grow?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Absolutely not. How can we who died to sin go on living in it?
God forbid. How will we who are dead to sin live any longer in it?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Don't you know that all of us who were baptised into Jesus Christ were baptised into his death?
Don't you know that as many of us as were baptised into Jesus Christ were baptised into his death?
Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
So we were buried with him by baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too should walk in newness of life.

Because if we've been planted together in the likeness of his death, we'll be in the likeness of his rising again too.

Because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
Because the one who's dead is freed from sin.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Now if we died with Christ, we believe we will also live with him,
Now if we're dead with Christ, we believe we'll live with him too.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death has no more power over him.
Knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, doesn't die any more. Death has no more rule over him.
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more 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 count yourselves too to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So don't let sin reign in your mortal body, making you obey its cravings.
So don't let sin rule in your body that dies, so you obey it in the things it wants.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Because sin won't have power over you, since you aren't under law but under grace.
Because sin won't have rule over you. Because you aren't under the teaching but under grace.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Servants of righteousness
What then? Should we sin because we aren't under law but under grace? Absolutely not. Don't you know that if you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey — whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching you were handed. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I am putting it in human terms, because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you once offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. Because when you were slaves of sin, you were free as far as righteousness goes. So what fruit did you get then from the things you are now ashamed of? Because the end of those things is death. But now, having been set free from sin and made slaves of God, you have your fruit leading to holiness, and the end is everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
What then? Should we sin because we aren't under the teaching but under grace? God forbid. Don't you know that who you hand yourselves over to as servants to obey, you're the servants of the one you obey — whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness? But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you've obeyed from the heart that form of teaching handed to you. Being then made free from sin, you turned into the servants of righteousness. I speak in the way men do because of the weakness of your flesh. Because the way you've handed over your parts as servants to uncleanness and to wrongdoing on wrongdoing, that's how you should now hand over your parts as servants to righteousness to being made holy. Because when you were the servants of sin, you were free from righteousness. So what fruit did you have then in the things you're now ashamed of? Because the end of those things is death. But now, being made free from sin and having turned into servants to God, you've got your fruit to being made holy, and the end everlasting life. Because the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

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. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 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. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
