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.

Dead to Sin, Alive to God
6 What shall we say then? (A)Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can (B)we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us (C)who have been baptized (D)into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were (E)buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as (F)Christ was raised from the dead by (G)the glory of the Father, we too might walk in (H)newness of life.
5 For (I)if we have been united with him in (J)a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that (K)our old self[a] (L)was crucified with him in order that (M)the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For (N)one who has died (O)has been set free[b] from sin. 8 Now (P)if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that (Q)Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; (R)death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, (S)once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves (T)dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Let not (U)sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 (V)Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but (W)present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For (X)sin (Y)will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Slaves to Righteousness
15 What then? (Z)Are we to sin (AA)because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves (AB)to anyone as obedient slaves,[c] you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But (AC)thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the (AD)standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, (AE)having been set free from sin, (AF)have become slaves of righteousness. 19 (AG)I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For (AH)just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members (AI)as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20 (AJ)For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 (AK)But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things (AL)of which you are now ashamed? (AM)For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you (AN)have been set free from sin and (AO)have become slaves of God, (AP)the fruit you get leads to sanctification and (AQ)its end, eternal life. 23 (AR)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Patay sa Kasalanan Ngunit Buháy kay Cristo
6 Ano ngayon ang sasabihin natin? Patuloy ba tayong magkakasala upang sumagana sa atin ang kagandahang-loob ng Diyos? 2 Hinding-hindi! Tayo'y patay na sa kasalanan, paano pa tayo mamumuhay sa pagkakasala? 3 Hindi ba ninyo alam na tayong lahat na nabautismuhan kay Cristo Jesus ay nabautismuhan sa kanyang kamatayan? 4 Samakatuwid,(A) tayo'y namatay na at nalibing na kasama niya sa pamamagitan ng bautismo upang kung paanong binuhay muli si Cristo sa pamamagitan ng dakilang kapangyarihan ng Ama, tayo rin ay magkaroon ng panibagong buhay.
5 Sapagkat kung nakasama tayo ni Cristo sa isang kamatayang katulad ng kanyang kamatayan, tiyak na tayo ay makakasama rin niya sa muling pagkabuhay na katulad ng kanyang muling pagkabuhay. 6 Alam natin na ang dati nating pagkatao ay naipako na sa krus kasama niya, upang mamatay ang ating makasalanang pagkatao at nang hindi na tayo maalipin pa ng kasalanan. 7 Sapagkat ang namatay na ay pinalaya mula sa kapangyarihan ng kasalanan. 8 Kung tayo'y namatay nang kasama ni Cristo, naniniwala tayong mabubuhay rin tayong kasama niya. 9 Alam nating si Cristo na muling binuhay ay hindi na muling mamamatay. Wala nang kapangyarihan sa kanya ang kamatayan. 10 Nang siya'y mamatay, namatay siya nang minsanan para sa lahat ng panahon dahil sa kasalanan; at ang buhay niya ngayon ay para sa Diyos. 11 Kaya dapat din ninyong ituring ang inyong sarili bilang patay na sa kasalanan ngunit buháy para sa Diyos, sapagkat kayo'y nakipag-isa na kay Cristo Jesus.
12 Huwag na ninyong paghariin ang kasalanan sa inyong mga katawang may kamatayan upang hindi na ninyo sundin ang masasamang hilig nito. 13 Huwag na ninyong ipailalim sa kapangyarihan ng kasalanan ang alinmang bahagi ng inyong katawan bilang kasangkapan sa paggawa ng kasamaan. Sa halip, pasakop kayo sa Diyos bilang mga taong namatay na at muling binuhay, at ihandog ninyo sa kanya ang inyong katawan bilang kasangkapan sa kabutihan. 14 Sapagkat hindi na dapat maghari sa inyo ang kasalanan, dahil kayo'y wala na sa ilalim ng kautusan kundi nasa ilalim ng kagandahang-loob ng Diyos.
Mga Alipin ng Katuwiran
15 Ngayon, malaya na ba tayong magkasala dahil wala na tayo sa ilalim ng kautusan kundi nasa ilalim ng kagandahang-loob ng Diyos?
Hinding-hindi! 16 Hindi ba ninyo alam na kapag nagpasakop kayo sa sinumang inyong sinusunod, kayo'y nagiging alipin nito, maging ito'y kasalanang hahantong sa kamatayan, o ang pagsunod sa Diyos na hahantong sa pagiging matuwid? 17 Ngunit salamat sa Diyos, kayong dating mga alipin ng kasalanan ay taos pusong sumunod sa katotohanan na nasa aral na ibinigay sa inyo. 18 Pinalaya na kayo sa kasalanan at kayo ngayon ay mga alipin na ng katuwiran. 19 Gumagamit ako ng karaniwang pangungusap dahil sa inyong likas na kahinaan. Kung paanong ipinailalim ninyo noong una ang inyong sarili sa karumihan at sa kasamaang palala nang palala, isuko ninyo ngayon ang inyong sarili bilang alipin ng katuwiran para sa mga banal na layunin.
20 Noong alipin pa kayo ng kasalanan, hindi kayo saklaw ng katuwiran. 21 Ano ang napala ninyo sa mga bagay na iyon na ikinahihiya ninyo ngayon? Kamatayan ang ibinubunga ng mga iyon. 22 Ngunit ngayong pinalaya na kayo mula sa kasalanan at naging alipin na ng Diyos, ang natamo ninyo'y isang buhay na banal at ang ibinubunga nito'y buhay na walang hanggan. 23 Sapagkat kamatayan ang kabayaran ng kasalanan, ngunit ang walang bayad na kaloob ng Diyos ay buhay na walang hanggan sa pamamagitan ni Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.
