045:006:001
What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin,
that grace may abound?
045:006:002
God forbid.
How shall we,
that are dead to sin,
live any longer therein?
045:006:003
Know ye not,
that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
045:006:004
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.
045:006:005
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
045:006:006
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.
045:006:007
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
045:006:008
Now if we be dead with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with him:
045:006:009
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him.
045:006:010
For in that he died,
he died unto sin once:
but in that he liveth,
he liveth unto God.
045:006:011
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
045:006:012
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,
that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
045:006:013
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.
045:006:014
For sin shall not have dominion over you:
for ye are not under the law,
but under grace.
045:006:015
What then?
shall we sin,
because we are not under the law,
but under grace?
God forbid.
045:006:016
Know ye not,
that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey,
his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?
045:006:017
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.
045:006:018
Being then made free from sin,
ye became the servants of righteousness.
045:006:019
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.
045:006:020
For when ye were the servants of sin,
ye were free from righteousness.
045:006:021
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed?
for the end of those things is death.
045:006:022
But now being made free from sin,
and become servants to God,
ye have your fruit unto holiness,
and the end everlasting life.
045:006:023
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
