Romans 6:1 - Prayer Tents

6What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?G5101G2046G3767G1961G266G2443G5485G4121 2By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?G3361G1096G4459G3748G599G266G2198G2089G1722G846 3Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?G2228G50G3754G3745G907G1519G2424G5547G907G1519G846G2288 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.G3767G4916G846G1223G908G1519G2288G2443G5618G5547G1453G1537G3498G1223G1391G3962G3779G2249G2532G4043G1722G2538G2222 5If we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.G1063G1487G1096G4854G3667G846G2288G2071G235G2532G386 6For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—G1097G5124G3754G2257G3820G444G4957G2443G4983G266G2673G3371G2248G1398G3371G1398G266 7because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.G1063G599G1344G575G266 8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.G1161G1487G599G4862G5547G4100G3754G4800G2532G4800G846 9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.G1492G3754G5547G1453G1537G3498G599G3765G2288G2961G3765G2961G846 10The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.G3739G1063G599G599G266G2178G1161G3739G2198G2198G2316 11In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.G3779G3049G5210G2532G1438G1511G3498G3303G266G1161G2198G2316G1722G2424G5547G2257G2962 12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.G936G3361G266G3767G936G1722G5216G2349G4983G1519G5219G846G1722G1939G846 13Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.G3366G3936G5216G3196G3696G93G266G235G3936G1438G2316G5613G2198G1537G3498G2532G5216G3196G3696G1343G2316 14For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.G1063G266G2961G3756G2961G5216G1063G2075G3756G5259G3551G235G5259G5485 15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!G5101G3767G264G3754G2070G3756G5259G3551G235G5259G5485G3361G1096 16Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?G1492G3756G3754G3739G3936G1438G1401G1519G5218G1401G2075G3739G5219G2273G266G1519G2288G2228G5218G1519G1343 17But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.G1161G2316G5485G3754G2258G1401G266G1161G5219G1537G2588G5179G1322G1519G3739G3860 18You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.G1659G1161G1659G575G266G1402G1343 19I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.G3004G442G1223G769G5216G4561G1063G5618G3936G5216G3196G1401G167G2532G458G1519G458G3779G3568G3936G5216G3196G1401G1343G1519G38 20When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness.G1063G3753G2258G1401G266G2258G1658G1343 21What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!G5101G3767G2590G2192G5119G1909G3739G1870G3568G1870G1063G5056G1565G2288 22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.G1161G3570G1659G575G266G1161G1402G2316G2192G5216G2590G1519G38G1161G5056G166G2222 23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.G1063G3800G266G2288G1161G5486G2316G166G2222G1722G2424G5547G2257G2962
