Romans 6:1-4
New American Standard Bible
Believers Are Dead to Sin, Alive to God
6 (A)What shall we say then? Are we to (B)continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2 [a](C)Far from it! How shall we who (D)died to sin still live in it? 3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been (E)baptized into (F)Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we have been (G)buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was (H)raised from the dead through the (I)glory of the Father, so we too may walk in (J)newness of life.

Romans 6:1-4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
This Does Not Mean That We Should Keep Sinning Because Salvation Is By Grace
6 Therefore, what shall we say? Should we[a] be continuing in sin in order that grace might increase? 2 May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?
Don’t You Know That We Died With Christ In Order To Live a New Life With Him?
3 Or do you not know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried-with Him through baptism into death in order that just as Christ arose from the dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life.

- Romans 6:1 If salvation is all by grace (3:24), and we stand in grace at peace with God (5:1), and where sin increased grace abounded (5:21), then would not God’s grace be magnified even more by my continuing in sin?
