Believers Are Dead to Sin, Alive to God |
|
|
 |
|
Romans 6:1
|
|
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in
sin so that grace may increase? |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:2
|
|
May it never be! How shall we who died to sin
still live in it? |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 6:3
|
|
Or do you not know that all of us who have been
baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 6:4
|
|
Therefore we have been buried with Him through
baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory
of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 6:5
|
|
For if we have become united with Him in the
likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,
|
| |
|
|
|
Romans 6:6
|
|
knowing this, that our old self was crucified
with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would
no longer be slaves to sin; |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 6:7
|
|
for he who has died is freed from sin. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:8
|
|
Now if we have died with Christ, we believe
that we shall also live with Him, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:9
|
|
knowing that Christ, having been raised from
the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:10
|
|
For the death that He died, He died to sin once
for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:11
|
|
Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin,
but alive to God in Christ Jesus. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:12
|
|
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal
body so that you obey its lusts, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:13
|
|
and do not go on presenting the members of your
body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as
those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to
God. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:14
|
|
For sin shall not be master over you, for you
are not under law but under grace. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:15
|
|
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under
law but under grace? May it never be! |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:16
|
|
Do you not know that when you present yourselves
to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either
of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:17
|
|
But thanks be to God that though you were slaves
of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you
were committed, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:18
|
|
and having been freed from sin, you became slaves
of righteousness. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:19
|
|
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, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members
as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification. |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 6:20
|
|
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free
in regard to righteousness. |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 6:21
|
|
Therefore what benefit were you then deriving
from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things
is death. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:22
|
|
But now having been freed from sin and enslaved
to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome,
eternal life. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 6:23
|
|
For the wages of sin is death, but the free
gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
