1
What shall we say then Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound
2
God forbid How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein
3
Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death
4
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
5
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection
6
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
7
For he that is dead is freed from sin
8
Now if we be dead with Christ we believe that we shall also live with him
9
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more death hath no more dominion over him
10
For in that he died he died unto sin once but in that he liveth he liveth unto God
11
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord
12
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof
13
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
14
For sin shall not have dominion over you for ye are not under the law but under grace
15
What then shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace God forbid
16
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
17
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
18
Being then made free from sin ye became the servants of righteousness
19
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
20
For when ye were the servants of sin ye were free from righteousness
21
What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed for the end of those things is death
22
But now being made free from sin and become servants to God ye have your fruit unto holiness and the end everlasting life
23
For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
