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