Paul's Letter to the Romans (WEB)
6:1 What will we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 6:2May it never be!
We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer? 6:3Or don't you know that all we who were
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 6:4We were buried therefore with him
through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the
Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 6:5For if we have become united with him in the
likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection; 6:6knowing this, that our old man was
crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be
in bondage to sin. 6:7For he who has died has been freed from sin. 6:8But if we died with Christ, we
believe that we will also live with him; 6:9knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no
more. Death no more has dominion over him! 6:10For the death that he died, he died to sin one
time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God. 6:11Thus also consider yourselves also to be dead to
sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 6:12Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body,
that you should obey it in its lusts. 6:13Neither present your members to sin as instruments of
unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as
instruments of righteousness to God. 6:14For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not
under law, but under grace. 6:15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under
grace? May it never be! 6:16Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to
obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to
righteousness? 6:17But thanks be to God, that, whereas you were servants of sin, you became
obedient from the heart to that form of teaching whereunto you were delivered. 6:18Being made free
from sin, you became servants of righteousness. 6:19I speak in human terms because of the
weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to
wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for
sanctification. 6:20For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
6:21What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the
end of those things is death. 6:22But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of
God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life. 6:23For the wages of sin is
death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
