1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?→2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?→3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?→4Therefore 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.→5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:→6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.→7For he that is dead is freed from sin.→8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:→9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.→10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.→11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.→12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.→13Neither 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.→14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.→15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.→16Know 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?→17But 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.→18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.→19I 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.→20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.→21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.→22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.→23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.→
