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.

Roma 6
Ang Salita ng Diyos
Patay sa Kasalanan, Buhay kay Cristo
6 Ano ngayon ang sasabihin natin? Magpapatuloy ba tayo sa kasalanan upang ang biyaya ay sumagana.
2 Huwag nawang mangyari. Papaano nga na tayong mga namatay sa kasalanan ay patuloy na mamumuhay pa roon? 3 Hindi ba ninyo nalalaman na tayong mga nabawtismuhan kay Cristo Jesus ay nabawtismuhan sa kaniyang kamatayan? 4 Kaya nga, tayo ay inilibing na kasama niya sa pamamagitan ng bawtismo sa kamatayan. Sa pamamagitan ng kaluwalhatian ng Ama, si Cristo ay ibinangon mula sa mga patay. Sa gayunding paraan dapat tayong lumakad sa panibagong buhay.
5 Ito ay sapagkat yamang tayo ay nakasama sa wangis ng kaniyang kamatayan, magiging gayundin tayo sa kaniyang pagkabuhay muli. 6 Nalalaman natin na ang ating dating pagkatao ay kasama niyang napako sa krus upang mapawalang-bisa ang katawan ngkasalanan. Dahil diyan hindi na tayo magiging alipin ng kasalanan. 7 Ito ay sapagkat siya na namatay ay pinalaya na mula sa kasalanan.
8 Kaya nga, yamang tayo ay kasamang namatay ni Cristo, tayo ay sumasampalatayang mabubuhay na kasama niya. 9 Alam nating sa pagkabuhay ni Jesucristo mula sa mga patay ay hindi na siya mamamatay. Ang kamatayan ay hindi na maghahari sa kaniya. 10 Ito ay sapagkat sa kaniyang kamatayan namatay siya sa kasalanan nang minsan lang. At sa kaniyangpagkabuhay, nabuhay siya sa Diyos.
11 Ituring din nga ninyo ang inyong mga sarili na patay sa kasalanan ngunit buhay sa Diyos sa pamamagitan ni Cristo na ating Panginoon. 12 Huwag nga ninyong paghariin ang kasalanan sa inyong katawang may kamatayanupang sundin ito sa kaniyang mga pagnanasa. 13 Kahit ang mga bahagi ng inyong katawan ay huwag ninyong ipaubayang maging kagamitan ng kalikuan sa kasalanan. Sa halip, ipaubaya ninyo ang inyong mga sarili sa Diyos tulad ng mga nabuhay mula sa mga patay. Ang bahagi ng inyong katawan ay ipaubaya sa Diyos bilang mga kagamitan ng katuwiran. 14 Ang kasalanan ay hindi dapat maghari sa inyo dahil hindi kayo nasa ilalim ng kautusan. Kayo ay nasa ilalim ng biyaya.
Mga Alipin ng Katuwiran
15 Ano na ngayon? Tayo ba ay magpapatuloy sa kasalanan dahil hindi tayo nasa ilalim ng kautusan kundi sa ilalim ng biyaya? Huwag nawang mangyari.
16 Hindi ba ninyo alam na kung kanino ninyo ipinaubaya ang inyong sarili bilang alipin, kayo ay mga alipin niya na inyong sinusunod? Ito man ay sa kasalanan patungong kamatayan o sa pagsunod patungong katuwiran. 17 Kayo ay mga dating alipin ng kasalanan. Ngunit salamat sa Diyos, dahil mula sa puso ay sinunod ninyo ang katuruang ibinigay sa inyo. 18 Sa inyong paglaya mula sa kasalanan kayo ay naging mga alipin ng katuwiran.
19 Dahil sa kahinaan ng inyong katawan ako ay nagsasalita bilang tao sapagkat ipinaubaya ninyo ang mga bahagi ng inyong mga katawan na mapaalipin sa karumihan at walang pagkakilala sa kautusan patungo sa walang pagkakilala sa kautusan ng Diyos. Sa gayunding paraan ipaubaya ninyo ngayon ang mga bahagi ng inyong katawan na mga alipin ng katuwiran patungo sa kabanalan. 20 Nang kayo ay mga alipin pa ng kasalanan, malaya kayo sa katuwiran. 21 Anong bunga nga ang nakuha ninyo sa mga bagay na ikinakahiya ninyo ngayon? Ito ay sapagkat ang wakas ng mga bagay na iyon ay kamatayan. 22 Ngunit ngayong nakalaya na kayo mula sa kasalanan at naging mga alipin ng Diyos, nagkabunga kayo na patungo sa kabanalan. Ang wakas nito ay walang hanggang buhay. 23 Ito ay sapagkat ang kabayaran nga ng kasalanan ay kamatayan ngunit ang walang bayad na kaloob ng Diyos ay buhay na walang hanggan kay Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.
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.
