6What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?G5101G2046G3767G1961G266G2443G5485G41212Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?G3361G1096G4459G3748G599G266G2198G2089G1722G8463Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?G2228G50G3754G3745G907G1519G2424G5547G907G1519G846G22884Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.G3767G4916G846G1223G908G1519G2288G2443G5618G5547G1453G1537G3498G1223G1391G3962G3779G2249G2532G4043G1722G2538G22225For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,G1063G1487G1096G4854G3667G846G2288G2071G235G2532G3866knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.G1097G5124G3754G2257G3820G444G4957G2443G4983G266G2673G3371G2248G1398G3371G1398G2667For he who has died has been freed from sin.G1063G599G1344G575G2668Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,G1161G1487G599G4862G5547G4100G3754G4800G2532G4800G8469knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.G1492G3754G5547G1453G1537G3498G599G3765G2288G2961G3765G2961G84610For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.G3739G1063G599G599G266G2178G1161G3739G2198G2198G231611Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.G3779G3049G5210G2532G1438G1511G3498G3303G266G1161G2198G2316G1722G2424G5547G2257G296212Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.G936G3361G266G3767G936G1722G5216G2349G4983G1519G5219G846G1722G1939G84613And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.G3366G3936G5216G3196G3696G93G266G235G3936G1438G2316G5613G2198G1537G3498G2532G5216G3196G3696G1343G231614For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.G1063G266G2961G3756G2961G5216G1063G2075G3756G5259G3551G235G5259G5485
From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!G5101G3767G264G3754G2070G3756G5259G3551G235G5259G5485G3361G109616Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?G1492G3756G3754G3739G3936G1438G1401G1519G5218G1401G2075G3739G5219G2273G266G1519G2288G2228G5218G1519G134317But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.G1161G2316G5485G3754G2258G1401G266G1161G5219G1537G2588G5179G1322G1519G3739G386018And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.G1659G1161G1659G575G266G1402G134319I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.G3004G442G1223G769G5216G4561G1063G5618G3936G5216G3196G1401G167G2532G458G1519G458G3779G3568G3936G5216G3196G1401G1343G1519G3820For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.G1063G3753G2258G1401G266G2258G1658G134321What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.G5101G3767G2590G2192G5119G1909G3739G1870G3568G1870G1063G5056G1565G228822But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.G1161G3570G1659G575G266G1161G1402G2316G2192G5216G2590G1519G38G1161G5056G166G222223For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.G1063G3800G266G2288G1161G5486G2316G166G2222G1722G2424G5547G2257G2962
