Romans:6:3-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Know ye not ,
that as many of us have been baptized into Jesus Christ ,
have been baptized into his death ?
*
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death ,
that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father ,
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 we might no longer serve sin .
*
For he that is dead is freed from sin .
*
And we believe ,
that if we are dead with Christ ,
we shall also live with him :
*
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead ,
dieth no more ;
death no more hath dominion over him .
*
For in that he died ,
he died to sin once for all ;
but in that he liveth ,
he liveth unto God .
*
So reckon ye also yourselves to be dead to sin ,
and alive to God through Jesus Christ our Lord .
*
Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body ,
to obey it in the desires thereof .
*
Neither present your members to sin ,
as instruments of unrighteousness ;
but present yourselves to God ,
as alive from the dead ,
and your members to God ,
as instruments of righteousness .
*
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 present yourselves servants to obey ,
his servants ye are whom ye obey ?
Whether of sin unto death ,
or of obedience unto righteousness ?
*
But thanks be to God ,
that ,
whereas ye were the servants of sin ,
ye have now obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine into which ye have been delivered .
*
Being then set free from sin ,
ye are become the servants of righteousness .
*
I speak as a man ,
because of the weakness of your flesh .
As ye have presented your members servants to uncleanness and iniquity ,
unto iniquity ,
so now present your members servants of righteousness ,
unto holiness .
*
For when ye were the servants of sin ,
ye were free from righteousness .
*
What fruit had ye then from 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 death is the wages of sin ;
but eternal life is the gift of God through Jesus Christ our Lord .
