Romanos 6
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Muertos al pecado, vivos para Cristo
6 Bueno, ¿ahora qué vamos a decir? ¿Será que debemos seguir pecando para que Dios nos perdone aun más[a]? 2 ¡Claro que no! Ya hemos muerto al pecado, así que no podemos seguir viviendo en el pecado. 3 No saben ustedes que todos los que fuimos bautizados en Jesucristo nos unimos a él en su muerte. 4 Cuando fuimos bautizados, también fuimos enterrados con Cristo y así compartimos su muerte para que así como Cristo resucitó por el gran poder del Padre, nosotros también andemos de acuerdo a la nueva vida.
5 Así que si fuimos unidos a Cristo en una muerte como la de él, también nos uniremos con él en su resurrección. 6 Sabemos que nuestra vida de antes murió con Cristo en la cruz para que fuera destruido lo que desea pecar dentro de nosotros y dejáramos de ser esclavos del pecado. 7 Un muerto está libre del poder del pecado. 8 Como nosotros hemos muerto con Cristo, tenemos fe de que también viviremos con él. 9 Sabemos que Cristo resucitó y no morirá más. La muerte ya no tiene ningún poder sobre él. 10 Cristo murió para derrotar al pecado de una vez para siempre y ahora vive su nueva vida para dar honra a Dios. 11 Así mismo, ustedes considérense muertos en cuanto al pecado y vivos para servir a Dios en Jesucristo. 12 Así que no dejen que el pecado controle su cuerpo mortal ni obedezcan a sus deseos perversos. 13 No utilicen ninguna parte de su cuerpo como arma de injusticia del pecado. Mejor pónganse al servicio de Dios, como personas que han muerto y han resucitado; ofrezcan todo su cuerpo como arma de justicia a Dios. 14 El pecado ya no gobernará sobre ustedes, porque ya no están sujetos a la ley, sino sólo al generoso amor de Dios.
Esclavos del bien
15 ¿Qué significa esto? ¿Vamos a pecar porque ya no estamos sujetos a la ley, sino sólo al generoso amor de Dios? ¡Jamás! 16 ¿No saben ustedes que cuando se ponen al servicio de alguien y lo obedecen, son esclavos de él? Pueden ser esclavos del pecado y morir o pueden ser esclavos de Dios y ser aprobados por él. 17 Antes eran esclavos del pecado, pero, gracias a Dios, obedientemente y de todo corazón recibieron la formación[b] que se les dio por medio de la enseñanza. 18 Ustedes fueron liberados del pecado y ahora son esclavos de la justicia. 19 Expliqué esto con el ejemplo de la esclavitud porque debido a la debilidad humana a ustedes les es difícil entender. Pero así como antes ustedes entregaron su cuerpo al servicio de la corrupción y la de desobediencia, y eso los llevaba a desobedecer aun más; ahora deben entregar su cuerpo al servicio de la justicia y vivir sólo para Dios.
20 Cuando eran esclavos del pecado, no vivían al servicio de la justicia. 21 ¿Y qué sacaron con eso? Sólo cosas de las que ahora sienten vergüenza y que llevan a la muerte. 22 Pero ahora, liberados del pecado, se han hecho esclavos de Dios. Como resultado, se dedican sólo a Dios y eso los llevará a la vida eterna. 23 El pecado da como pago la muerte, pero Dios da como regalo la vida eterna en unión con nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
Romans 6
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
Worldwide English (New Testament)
6 What shall we say then? Shall we keep on doing wrong things so that God will be more kind to us?
2 No, surely not! We died to our wrong ways and no longer live in them.
3 All of us have been baptised in water. This means we are joined to Christ Jesus. We were baptised into his death. Do you know that?
4 We were buried when he was buried because we were baptised into his death. Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father. So we also must live a new life.
5 Have we shared with Christ and died as he died? Then we shall share with him by rising from death as he arose.
6 We know this is true. The old person we used to be was nailed to the cross with him, so that our bodies which do wrong things would die. Then we will no longer be like slaves to the wrong things we used to do.
7 Anyone who has died no longer does wrong things.
8 If we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
9 We know that Christ was raised from death and will not die again. Death has no power over him any more.
10 He died. And he died once for all time, so that people would stop their wrong ways. But now he lives. And he lives for God.
11 So you also must think you are dead, and stop your wrong ways. And you must think you are living for God along with Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Do not let wrong things rule over your bodies that are going to die. Do not do the things your bodies want.
13 Do not use your bodies to do wrong things. But give yourselves to God like men who have been raised from death to life. Give your bodies to God and use them to do good things.
14 Wrong ways will not be your masters. The law does not rule over you now, but God's loving kindness rules over you.
15 What then? The law does not rule over us now. God's loving kindness rules over us. So, shall we do wrong things? No, never!
16 If you give yourselves to be slaves and obey your master, you are not free. You are his slaves. Do you not know this: you may be slaves to wrong things? But you will not live for ever. Or you may be slaves to obey God. Then you will be made good people and live with him.
17 You were at one time slaves to wrong things. But I praise God that you obeyed what your teachers taught you. And you obeyed because you wanted to obey.
18 You were made free from doing wrong things. You were made slaves to good things.
19 I speak the way people would think about such things, because your minds are weak. At one time you gave your bodies to be slaves to your unclean ways, and to do more and more wrong things. So now give your bodies to be slaves to doing what is right, and to being good.
20 When you were slaves to wrong things, you were free from doing good things.
21 You are now ashamed of those things. What good did they do you? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now you have been made free from wrong ways and you have been made God's slaves. You are made good and you will live for ever.
23 The reward that wrong ways give is to die. But the gift which God gives is to live for ever. Christ Jesus our Lord has done this for us.
