The New Life in Christ

6 What should we say then?(A) Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply?(B) 2 Absolutely not!(C) How can we who died to sin(D) still live in it? 3 Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized(E) into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?(F) 4 Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death,(G) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead(H) by the glory of the Father,(I) so we too may walk in a new way[a] of life.(J) 5 For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death,(K) we will certainly also be[b] in the likeness of His resurrection. 6 For we know that our old self[c](L) was crucified with Him(M) in order that sin’s dominion over the body[d] may be abolished,(N) so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7 since a person who has died(O) is freed[e] from sin’s claims.[f] 8 Now if we died with Christ,(P) we believe that we will also live with Him, 9 because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead,(Q) will not die again. Death no longer rules over Him.(R) 10 For in light of the fact that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in light of the fact that He lives, He lives to God. 11 So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin(S) but alive to God in Christ Jesus.[g]

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey[h] its desires. 13 And do not offer any parts[i] of it to sin(T) as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God,(U) and all the parts[j] of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. 14 For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under law(V) but under grace.(W)

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God

15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace?(X) Absolutely not!(Y) 16 Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone[k] as obedient slaves,(Z) you are slaves of that one you obey(AA)—either of sin leading to death(AB) or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin,(AC) you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching you were transferred[l] to,(AD) 18 and having been liberated from sin,(AE) you became enslaved to righteousness. 19 I am using a human analogy[m](AF) because of the weakness of your flesh.[n] For just as you offered the parts[o] of yourselves as slaves to moral impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification. 20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from allegiance to righteousness.[p](AG) 21 So what fruit was produced[q] then from the things you are now ashamed of?(AH) For the end of those things is death.(AI) 22 But now, since you have been liberated from sin and have become enslaved to God,(AJ) you have your fruit, which results in sanctification[r](AK)—and the end is eternal life!(AL) 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.(AM)

An Illustration from Marriage

7 Since I am speaking to those who understand law, brothers,(AN) are you unaware that the law has authority over someone as long as he lives? 2 For example, a married woman is legally bound to her husband while he lives.(AO) But if her husband dies, she is released from the law regarding the husband. 3 So then, if she gives herself to another man while her husband is living, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then, if she gives herself to another man, she is not an adulteress.

4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death(AP) in relation to the law(AQ) through the crucified body of the Messiah,(AR) so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the flesh,[s](AS) the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us[t](AT) and bore fruit for death. 6 But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way[u] of the Spirit(AU) and not in the old letter of the law.

Sin’s Use of the Law

7 What should we say then?(AV) Is the law sin? Absolutely not!(AW) On the contrary, I would not have known sin if it were not for the law.(AX) For example, I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, Do not covet.(AY)[v] 8 And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment,(AZ) produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.(BA) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life 10 and I died. The commandment that was meant for life(BB) resulted in death for me. 11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me,(BC) and through it killed me. 12 So then, the law is holy,(BD) and the commandment is holy and just and good.

The Problem of Sin in Us

13 Therefore, did what is good cause my death?[w] Absolutely not!(BE) On the contrary, sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment, sin might become sinful beyond measure. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual,(BF) but I am made out of flesh,[x] sold(BG) into sin’s power.(BH) 15 For I do not understand what I am doing,(BI) because I do not practice what I want to do,(BJ) but I do what I hate. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh.(BK) For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it. 19 For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me. 21 So I discover this principle:[y](BL) When I want to do what is good, evil is with me. 22 For in my inner self[z] I joyfully agree with God’s law.(BM) 23 But I see a different law in the parts of my body,[aa](BN) waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body.[ab] 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this dying body?(BO) 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord![ac](BP) So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.

The Life-Giving Spirit

8 Therefore, no condemnation(BQ) now exists for those in(BR) Christ Jesus,[ad](BS) 2 because the Spirit’s law of life(BT) in Christ Jesus has set you[ae] free from the law of sin and of death.(BU) 3 What the law could not do(BV) since it was limited[af] by the flesh,(BW) God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours(BX) under sin’s domain,[ag] and as a sin offering,(BY) 4 in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished(BZ) in us who do not walk according to the flesh(CA) but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live[ah] according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh,(CB) but those who live[ai] according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind-set of the flesh(CC) is death,(CD) but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile(CE) to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so. 8 Those who are in the flesh(CF) cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since[aj] the Spirit of God lives in you.(CG) But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(CH) he does not belong to Him. 10 Now if Christ is in you,(CI) the body is dead[ak] because of sin, but the Spirit[al] is life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead(CJ) lives in you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through[am] His Spirit who lives in you.

The Holy Spirit’s Ministries

12 So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,(CK) you will live. 14 All those led by God’s Spirit(CL) are God’s sons.(CM) 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear,(CN) but you received the Spirit of adoption,(CO) by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”(CP) 16 The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit(CQ) that we are God’s children, 17 and if children, also heirs(CR)—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—seeing that[an] we suffer with Him(CS) so that we may also be glorified with Him.

From Groans to Glory

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing(CT) with the glory(CU) that is going to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation(CV) for God’s sons(CW) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected(CX) to futility(CY)—not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it(CZ)—in the hope 21 that the creation itself(DA) will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God’s children. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains(DB) until now. 23 And not only that,(DC) but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits(DD)—we also groan within ourselves,(DE) eagerly waiting for adoption,(DF) the redemption of our bodies.(DG) 24 Now in this hope(DH) we were saved, yet hope(DI) that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see,(DJ) we eagerly wait for it with patience.

26 In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should,(DK) but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us[ao](DL) with unspoken groanings. 27 And He who searches the hearts(DM) knows the Spirit’s mind-set, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

28 We know that all things work together[ap] for the good[aq] of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.(DN) 29 For those He foreknew He also predestined(DO) to be conformed to the image of His Son,(DP) so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.(DQ) 30 And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified;(DR) and those He justified, He also glorified.(DS)

The Believer’s Triumph

31 What then are we to say about these things?(DT)
If God is for us, who is against us?(DU)
32 He did not even spare His own Son(DV)
but offered Him up for us all;(DW)
how will He not also with Him grant us everything?
33 Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?(DX)
God is the One who justifies.(DY)
34 Who is the one who condemns?(DZ)
Christ Jesus is the One who died,(EA)
but even more, has been raised;(EB)
He also is at the right hand of God(EC)
and intercedes for us.(ED)
35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
Can affliction(EE) or anguish or persecution(EF)
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written:
Because of You
we are being put to death all day long;(EG)
we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.(EH)[ar]
37 No, in all these things we are more than victorious(EI)
through Him who loved us.(EJ)
38 For I am persuaded that not even death or life,(EK)
angels or rulers,(EL)
things present or things to come,(EM) hostile powers,
39 height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God(EN) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!(EO)

Romans 6:1-9
New International Version

Dead to Sin, Alive in Christ

6 What shall we say, then?(A) Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?(B) 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin;(C) how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized(D) into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death(E) in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead(F) through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.(G)

5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.(H) 6 For we know that our old self(I) was crucified with him(J) so that the body ruled by sin(K) might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin(L)— 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.(M)

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.(N) 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead,(O) he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.(P) 10 The death he died, he died to sin(Q) once for all;(R) but the life he lives, he lives to God.

11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin(S) but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign(T) in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness,(U) but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.(V) 14 For sin shall no longer be your master,(W) because you are not under the law,(X) but under grace.(Y)

Slaves to Righteousness

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?(Z) By no means! 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey(AA)—whether you are slaves to sin,(AB) which leads to death,(AC) or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God(AD) that, though you used to be slaves to sin,(AE) you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching(AF) that has now claimed your allegiance. 18 You have been set free from sin(AG) and have become slaves to righteousness.(AH)

19 I am using an example from everyday life(AI) because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness(AJ) leading to holiness. 20 When you were slaves to sin,(AK) you were free from the control of righteousness.(AL) 21 What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death!(AM) 22 But now that you have been set free from sin(AN) and have become slaves of God,(AO) the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.(AP) 23 For the wages of sin is death,(AQ) but the gift of God is eternal life(AR) in[b] Christ Jesus our Lord.

Released From the Law, Bound to Christ

7 Do you not know, brothers and sisters(AS)—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.(AT) 3 So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.(AU) But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(AV) through the body of Christ,(AW) that you might belong to another,(AX) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[c](AY) the sinful passions aroused by the law(AZ) were at work in us,(BA) so that we bore fruit for death.(BB) 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(BC) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(BD)

The Law and Sin

7 What shall we say, then?(BE) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(BF) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(BG) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[d](BH) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(BI) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(BJ) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(BK) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(BL) deceived me,(BM) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(BN)

13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(BO) to bring about my death,(BP) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(BQ) sold(BR) as a slave to sin.(BS) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(BT) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(BU) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(BV) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[e](BW) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(BX) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(BY)

21 So I find this law at work:(BZ) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(CA) I delight in God’s law;(CB) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(CC) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(CD) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(CE) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(CF)

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(CG) but in my sinful nature[f] a slave to the law of sin.(CH)

Life Through the Spirit

8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation(CI) for those who are in Christ Jesus,(CJ) 2 because through Christ Jesus(CK) the law of the Spirit who gives life(CL) has set you[g] free(CM) from the law of sin(CN) and death. 3 For what the law was powerless(CO) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[h](CP) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(CQ) to be a sin offering.[i](CR) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement(CS) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(CT)

5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;(CU) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.(CV) 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death,(CW) but the mind governed by the Spirit is life(CX) and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;(CY) it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh(CZ) cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh(DA) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.(DB) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,(DC) they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you,(DD) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[j] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead(DE) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies(DF) because of[k] his Spirit who lives in you.

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.(DG) 13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;(DH) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,(DI) you will live.(DJ)

14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God(DK) are the children of God.(DL) 15 The Spirit(DM) you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;(DN) rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[l] And by him we cry, “Abba,[m] Father.”(DO) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit(DP) that we are God’s children.(DQ) 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs(DR)—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings(DS) in order that we may also share in his glory.(DT)

Present Suffering and Future Glory

18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(DU) 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God(DV) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it,(DW) in hope 21 that[n] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay(DX) and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.(DY)

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning(DZ) as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,(EA) groan(EB) inwardly as we wait eagerly(EC) for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.(ED) 24 For in this hope we were saved.(EE) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.(EF) Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.(EG)

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit(EH) himself intercedes for us(EI) through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts(EJ) knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes(EK) for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good(EL) of those who love him, who[o] have been called(EM) according to his purpose.(EN) 29 For those God foreknew(EO) he also predestined(EP) to be conformed to the image of his Son,(EQ) that he might be the firstborn(ER) among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined,(ES) he also called;(ET) those he called, he also justified;(EU) those he justified, he also glorified.(EV)

More Than Conquerors

31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things?(EW) If God is for us,(EX) who can be against us?(EY) 32 He who did not spare his own Son,(EZ) but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge(FA) against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who then is the one who condemns?(FB) No one. Christ Jesus who died(FC)—more than that, who was raised to life(FD)—is at the right hand of God(FE) and is also interceding for us.(FF) 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?(FG) Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?(FH) 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”[p](FI)

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors(FJ) through him who loved us.(FK) 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[q] neither the present nor the future,(FL) nor any powers,(FM) 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God(FN) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.(FO)
