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