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.
1 quid ergo dicemus
permanebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet
2 absit
qui enim mortui sumus peccato
quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo
3 an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Iesu
in morte ipsius baptizati sumus
4 consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem
ut quomodo surrexit Christus a mortuis per gloriam Patris
ita et nos in novitate vitae ambulemus
5 si enim conplantati facti sumus similitudini mortis eius
simul et resurrectionis erimus
6 hoc scientes quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est
ut destruatur corpus peccati ut ultra non serviamus peccato
7 qui enim mortuus est iustificatus est a peccato
8 si autem mortui sumus cum Christo
credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo
9 scientes quod Christus surgens ex mortuis
iam non moritur mors illi ultra non dominabitur
10 quod enim mortuus est peccato mortuus est semel
quod autem vivit vivit Deo
11 ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato
viventes autem Deo in Christo Iesu
12 non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore
ut oboediatis concupiscentiis eius
13 sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato
sed exhibete vos Deo tamquam ex mortuis viventes
et membra vestra arma iustitiae Deo
14 peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur
non enim sub lege estis sed sub gratia
15 quid ergo peccavimus
quoniam non sumus sub lege sed sub gratia absit
16 nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad oboediendum
servi estis eius cui oboeditis
sive peccati
sive oboeditionis ad iustitiam
17 gratias autem Deo
quod fuistis servi peccati
oboedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinae
in qua traditi estis
18 liberati autem a peccato servi facti estis iustitiae
19 humanum dico propter infirmitatem carnis vestrae
sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra
servire inmunditiae et iniquitati ad iniquitatem
ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire iustitiae in sanctificationem
20 cum enim servi essetis peccati liberi fuistis iustitiae
21 quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in quibus nunc erubescitis
nam finis illorum mors est
22 nunc vero liberati a peccato
servi autem facti Deo
habetis fructum vestrum in sanctificationem
finem vero vitam aeternam
23 stipendia enim peccati mors
gratia autem Dei vita aeterna in Christo Iesu Domino nostro
