Romans 6 :: New English Translation (NET)

Believers Are Dead to Sin, Alive to God

Rom 6:1What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase?

Rom 6:2Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Rom 6:3Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

Rom 6:4Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.

Rom 6:5

Rom 6:5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.

Rom 6:6

Rom 6:6We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Rom 6:7

Rom 6:7(For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)

Rom 6:8

Rom 6:8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

Rom 6:9

Rom 6:9We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

Rom 6:10

Rom 6:10For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.

Rom 6:11

Rom 6:11So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Rom 6:12

Rom 6:12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,

Rom 6:13

Rom 6:13and do not present your members to sin as instruments to be used for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instruments to be used for righteousness.

Rom 6:14

Rom 6:14For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

Rom 6:15

Rom 6:15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!

Rom 6:16

Rom 6:16Do you not know that if you present yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?

Rom 6:17

Rom 6:17But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were entrusted to,

Rom 6:18

Rom 6:18and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

Rom 6:19

Rom 6:19(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.) For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

Rom 6:20

Rom 6:20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.

Rom 6:21

Rom 6:21So what benefit did you then reap from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.

Rom 6:22

Rom 6:22But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.

Rom 6:23

Rom 6:23For the payoff of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
