6:1  What then shall we say?—“Let us continue in sin so that · grace may increase”?
6:2  By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?
6:3  Or do you not know that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into · his death?
6:4  Therefore we were buried with him by · baptism into · death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life.
6:5  For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united with him in the likeness of his resurrection.
6:6  We know this, that · our old self was crucified with him, so that the body of sin would be rendered powerless, so that we would no longer be enslaved by sin;
6:7  for the one who has died has been set free from · sin.
6:8  Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
6:9  We know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
6:10  For the death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
6:11  So you too consider yourselves to be dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
6:12  Therefore do not let sin reign · in · your mortal body so that you obey · its desires.
6:13  Do not continue to present · your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and · your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
6:14  For sin will not have mastery over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
6:15  What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
6:16  Do you not know that if you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
6:17  But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient · from the heart to that pattern of teaching to which you were committed,
6:18  and having been set free from · sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
6:19  (I am speaking in human terms because of · your natural limitations.) · For just as you presented · your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to · more lawlessness, so now present · your members as slaves to righteousness, leading to sanctification.
6:20  For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.
6:21  Therefore what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
6:22  But now, freed from · sin and enslaved to God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification, and its outcome, eternal life.
6:23  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus · our Lord.
