Romans 6
Revised Geneva Translation
6 What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, so that grace may abound? Absolutely not!
2 How shall we, who are dead to sin, still live in it?
3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Jesus Christ have been baptized into his death?
4 We are then buried with Him, through baptism, into His death; so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead, to the glory of the Father, we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we are united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall also be so in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 knowing this: that our old man was crucified with Him, so that the body of sin might be made useless and that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For whoever has died is freed from sin.
8 Therefore, if we are dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death has no more dominion over Him.
10 For, in that He died, He died once to sin. But in that He lives, He lives to God.
11 Likewise, you also consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God, in Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey its lusts;
13 nor give the parts of your body to sin, as weapons of unrighteousness. But give yourselves to God, as those who are alive from the dead. And give the parts of your body to God, as weapons of righteousness.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you. For you are not under the Law, but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? Absolutely not!
16 Do you not know that to whomever you give yourselves as servants, to obey, you are his servants whom you obey; whether it be of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 Thanks be to God that, although you had been the servants of sin, you have obeyed (from the heart) the type of doctrine by which you were delivered.
18 Being then made free from sin, you are made the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For as you have given the parts of your body over as servants to impurity and lawlessness, to commit lawlessness, so now give the parts of your body over as servants to righteousness in holiness.
20 For when you were the servants of sin, you were freed from righteousness.
21 What fruit did you then have in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now, being freed from sin, and made servants to God, you have your fruit in holiness; and in 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.

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.

6 Vad skola vi då säga? Skola vi förbliva i synden, för att nåden skall bliva så mycket större?
2 Bort det! Vi som hava dött från synden, huru skulle vi ännu kunna leva i den?
3 Veten I då icke att vi alla som hava blivit döpta till Kristus Jesus, vi hava blivit döpta till hans död?
4 Och vi hava så, genom detta dop till döden, blivit begravna med honom, för att, såsom Kristus uppväcktes från de döda genom Faderns härlighet, också vi skola vandra i ett nytt väsende, i liv.
5 Ty om vi hava vuxit samman med honom genom en lika död, så skola vi ock vara sammanvuxna med honom genom en lika uppståndelse.
6 Vi veta ju detta, att vår gamla människa har blivit korsfäst med honom, för att syndakroppen skall göras om intet, så att vi icke mer tjäna synden.
7 Ty den som är död, han är friad ifrån synden.
8 Hava vi nu dött med Kristus, så tro vi att vi ock skola leva med honom,
9 eftersom vi veta att Kristus, sedan han har uppstått från de döda, icke mer dör; döden råder icke mer över honom.
10 Ty hans död var en död från synden en gång för alla, men hans liv är ett liv för Gud.
11 Så mån ock I hålla före att I ären döda från synden och leven för Gud, i Kristus Jesus.
12 Låten därför icke synden hava väldet i edra dödliga kroppar, så att I lyden deras begärelser.
13 Och ställen icke edra lemmar i syndens tjänst, att vara orättfärdighetsvapen, utan ställen eder själva i Guds tjänst, såsom de där från döden hava kommit till livet, och edra lemmar i Guds tjänst, att vara rättfärdighetsvapen.
14 Ty synden skall icke råda över eder, eftersom I icke stån under lagen, utan under nåden.
15 Huru är det alltså? Skola vi synda, eftersom vi icke stå under lagen, utan under nåden? Bort det!
16 I veten ju, att när I ställen eder i någons tjänst för att lyda honom, så ären I tjänare under denne, som I sålunda lyden, vare sig det är under synden, vilket leder till död, eller under lydnaden, vilket leder till rättfärdighet.
17 Men Gud vare tack för att den tid är förbi, då I voren syndens tjänare, och för att I haven blivit av hjärtat lydiga, så att I följen den lära som har givits eder till mönsterbild,
18 och för att I, när I nu haven gjorts fria ifrån synden, haven blivit tjänare under rättfärdigheten --
19 om jag nu får tala på människosätt, för eder köttsliga svaghets skull. Ja, likasom I förr ställden edra lemmar i orenhetens och orättfärdighetens tjänst, till orättfärdighet, så mån I nu ställa edra lemmar i rättfärdighetens tjänst, till helgelse.
20 Medan I voren syndens tjänare, voren I ju fria ifrån rättfärdighetens tjänst;
21 men vilken frukt skördaden I då därav? Jo, det som I nu blygens för; änden på sådant är ju döden.
22 Men nu, då I haven gjorts fria ifrån synden och blivit Guds tjänare, nu skörden I frukten av detta: I varden helgade; och änden bliver att I undfån evigt liv.
23 Ty den lön som synden giver är döden, men den gåva som Gud av nåd giver är evigt liv, i Kristus Jesus, vår Herre.
