Rô-ma 6
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Chết trong tội lỗi mà sống cho Chúa Cứu Thế
6 Anh chị em có nghĩ rằng chúng ta nên tiếp tục sống trong tội lỗi để ân phúc Thượng Đế thêm nhiều không? 2 Không được! Chúng ta đã chết vì nếp sống cũ của bản tính tội lỗi, thì chẳng lẽ lại cứ mãi sống trong tội lỗi sao? 3 Anh chị em quên rằng khi chúng ta chịu lễ báp-têm là đã trở thành một phần của thân thể Đấng Cứu Thế Giê-xu rồi sao? Chúng ta dự phần trong cái chết Ngài qua lễ báp-têm. 4 Khi chúng ta chịu báp-têm, chúng ta được chôn với Chúa Cứu Thế và dự phần trong cái chết của Ngài. Cho nên như Chúa Cứu Thế đã sống lại từ kẻ chết qua quyền năng kỳ diệu của Cha thế nào, chúng ta cũng sẽ sống một đời mới như thế.
5 Vì Chúa Cứu Thế chịu chết, chúng ta đồng chết với Ngài, nên chúng ta cũng sẽ đồng sống lại với Ngài từ kẻ chết giống như Ngài. 6 Chúng ta biết rằng đời cũ của chúng ta đã chết với Chúa Cứu Thế trên thập tự giá, để bản tính tội lỗi không còn cầm quyền và chúng ta không còn làm nô lệ cho tội lỗi nữa. 7 Vì ai đã chết là thoát khỏi gông cùm tội lỗi.
8 Nếu chúng ta chết với Chúa Cứu Thế, thì chúng ta biết mình cũng sẽ sống lại với Ngài. 9 Chúa Cứu Thế đã sống lại từ kẻ chết, chúng ta biết rằng Ngài không thể chết nữa. Sự chết hiện nay chẳng còn quyền gì trên Ngài. 10 Thật vậy, khi Chúa Cứu Thế chịu chết thì Ngài đánh bại quyền lực của tội lỗi một lần đủ cả. Bây giờ Ngài đã nhận sự sống mới nên Ngài sống cho Thượng Đế. 11 Cũng thế, anh chị em hãy xem mình như chết về quyền lực của tội lỗi nhưng sống với Thượng Đế qua Chúa Cứu Thế Giê-xu.
12 Cho nên đừng để tội lỗi thống trị đời sống anh chị em trên đất đặng làm theo ý muốn con người xác thịt của mình. 13 Đừng hiến dâng chi thể mình mà phục vụ tội lỗi, làm công cụ cho điều ác. Trái lại hãy hiến dâng chính mình cho Thượng Đế như là người đã chết mà nay được sống lại. Hãy hiến thân thể mình cho Thượng Đế, để phục vụ điều lành. 14 Tội lỗi không còn thống trị anh chị em nữa, vì anh chị em không còn ở dưới luật pháp nhưng ở dưới ân phúc của Thượng Đế.
Hãy làm tôi mọi cho sự công chính
15 Thế thì chúng ta phải làm sao? Chẳng lẽ vì bây giờ chúng ta không còn ở dưới luật pháp mà ở dưới ân phúc thì chúng ta cứ phạm tội sao? Không được! 16 Chắc hẳn anh chị em biết rằng khi mình chịu làm tôi mọi cho người nào thì phải vâng phục người ấy. Người mà mình vâng phục là chủ mình. Anh chị em có thể đi theo tội lỗi để dẫn đến cái chết về mặt thiêng liêng hoặc vâng theo Thượng Đế là Đấng có thể khiến anh chị em hòa thuận với Ngài. 17 Trước kia anh chị em làm nô lệ cho tội lỗi—tội lỗi thống trị anh chị em. Nhưng tạ ơn Thượng Đế, anh chị em đã hoàn toàn vâng theo những điều được dạy bảo. 18 Đã được giải thoát khỏi tội lỗi, bây giờ anh chị em làm nô lệ cho điều thiện. 19 Tôi phải dùng ví dụ nầy vì hơi khó cho anh chị em hiểu. Nếu trước kia anh chị em hiến dâng thân thể mình làm nô lệ cho tội lỗi và điều ác; chỉ sống cho điều ác thôi. Cũng thế, nay anh chị em hãy hiến thân thể mình để làm tôi cho điều thiện. Nghĩa là anh chị em chỉ sẽ sống cho Thượng Đế mà thôi.
20 Trước kia anh chị em làm nô lệ cho tội lỗi nên điều thiện không quản trị anh chị em. 21 Trước kia anh chị em làm điều ác, đến nỗi ngày nay anh chị em vẫn còn xấu hổ về việc ấy. Những điều ác đó chỉ dẫn đến sự chết. 22 Nhưng nay anh chị em đã thoát khỏi tội lỗi, và trở thành nô lệ cho Thượng Đế để sống cho Ngài và nhận sự sống đời đời. 23 Ai phạm tội thì phải lãnh tiền công của tội lỗi—đó là sự chết. Nhưng quà tặng của Thượng Đế là sự sống đời đời trong Đấng Cứu Thế Giê-xu, Chúa chúng ta.
Romans 6
New King James Version
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
6 What shall we say then? (A)Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who (B)died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that (C)as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus (D)were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were (E)buried with Him through baptism into death, that (F)just as Christ was raised from the dead by (G)the glory of the Father, (H)even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 (I)For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that (J)our old man was crucified with Him, that (K)the body of sin might be [a]done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For (L)he who has died has been [b]freed from sin. 8 Now (M)if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that (N)Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, (O)He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, (P)He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, [c]reckon yourselves to be (Q)dead indeed to sin, but (R)alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 (S)Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your (T)members as [d]instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but (U)present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For (V)sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
15 What then? Shall we sin (W)because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that (X)to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart (Y)that form of doctrine to which you were [e]delivered. 18 And (Z)having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness [f]for holiness.
20 For when you were (AA)slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 (AB)What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For (AC)the end of those things is death. 22 But now (AD)having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit [g]to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For (AE)the wages of sin is death, but (AF)the [h]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

King James Version
6 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.
Romans 6
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.

Romans 6
English Standard Version
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.
