Romans 6 (WEBP)

[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[2] May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
[3] Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
[4] We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
[5] For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
[6] knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.
[7] For he who has died has been freed from sin.
[8] But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,
[9] knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!
[10] For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
[11] Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[12] Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
[13] Also, do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
[14] For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
[15] What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!
[16] Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
[17] But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.
[18] Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
[19] I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.
[20] For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
[21] What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
[22] But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.
[23] For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6 (KJVS)

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