| 1 |
quid ergo dicemus permanebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet
What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
|
| 2 |
absit qui enim mortui sumus peccato quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo
God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein?
|
| 3 |
an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Iesu in morte ipsius baptizati sumus
Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are baptized in his death?
|
| 4 |
consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem ut quomodo surrexit Christus a mortuis per gloriam Patris ita et nos in novitate vitae ambulemus
For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
|
| 5 |
si enim conplantati facti sumus similitudini mortis eius simul et resurrectionis erimus
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
|
| 6 |
hoc scientes quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est ut destruatur corpus peccati ut ultra non serviamus peccato
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.
|
| 7 |
qui enim mortuus est iustificatus est a peccato
For he that is dead is justified from sin.
|
| 8 |
si autem mortui sumus cum Christo credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo
Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ.
|
| 9 |
scientes quod Christus surgens ex mortuis iam non moritur mors illi ultra non dominabitur
Knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead, dieth now no more. Death shall no more have dominion over him.
|
| 10 |
quod enim mortuus est peccato mortuus est semel quod autem vivit vivit Deo
For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
|
| 11 |
ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato viventes autem Deo in Christo Iesu
So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
|
| 12 |
non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut oboediatis concupiscentiis eius
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.
|
| 13 |
sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato sed exhibete vos Deo tamquam ex mortuis viventes et membra vestra arma iustitiae Deo
Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin: but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead; and your members as instruments of justice unto God.
|
| 14 |
peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur non enim sub lege estis sed sub gratia
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.
|
| 15 |
quid ergo peccavimus quoniam non sumus sub lege sed sub gratia absit
What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid!
|
| 16 |
nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad oboediendum servi estis eius cui oboeditis sive peccati sive oboeditionis ad iustitiam
Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey, whether it be of sin unto death or of obedience unto justice.
|
| 17 |
gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati oboedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinae in qua traditi estis
But thanks be to God, that you were the servants of sin but have obeyed from the heart unto that form of doctrine into which you have been delivered.
|
| 18 |
liberati autem a peccato servi facti estis iustitiae
Being then freed from sin, we have been made servants of justice.
|
| 19 |
humanum dico propter infirmitatem carnis vestrae sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra servire inmunditiae et iniquitati ad iniquitatem ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire iustitiae in sanctificationem
I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity: so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification.
|
| 20 |
cum enim servi essetis peccati liberi fuistis iustitiae
For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice.
|
| 21 |
quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in quibus nunc erubescitis nam finis illorum mors est
What fruit therefore had you then in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death.
|
| 22 |
nunc vero liberati a peccato servi autem facti Deo habetis fructum vestrum in sanctificationem finem vero vitam aeternam
But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting.
|
| 23 |
stipendia enim peccati mors gratia autem Dei vita aeterna in Christo Iesu Domino nostro
For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord.
