6 What tis then oun shall we say legō?—“ Let us continue epimenō in ho sin hamartia so hina that · ho grace charis may increase pleonazō”? ² By no means mē! How pōs can we who hostis died apothnēskō to ho sin hamartia go eti on living zaō in en it autos? ³ Or ē do you not know agnoeō that hoti we who hosos were baptized baptizō into eis Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous were baptized baptizō into eis · ho his autos death thanatos? ⁴ Therefore oun we were buried synthaptō with him autos by dia · ho baptism baptisma into eis · ho death thanatos, so hina that just hōsper as Christ Christos was raised egeirō from ek the dead nekros by dia the ho glory doxa of the ho Father patēr, so houtōs also kai we hēmeis might walk peripateō in en newness kainotēs of life zōē. ⁵ For gar if ei we have become ginomai united symphytos with him in the ho likeness homoiōma of ho his autos death thanatos, we will eimi certainly alla also kai be eimi united with him in the likeness of his ho resurrection anastasis. ⁶ We know ginōskō this houtos, that hoti · ho our hēmeis old palaios self anthrōpos was crucified systauroō with him, so hina that the ho body sōma of ho sin hamartia would be rendered powerless katargeō, so ho that we hēmeis would no mēketi longer be enslaved douleuō by ho sin hamartia; ⁷ for gar the ho one who has died apothnēskō has been set dikaioō free from apo · ho sin hamartia. ⁸ Now de if ei we have died apothnēskō with syn Christ Christos, we believe pisteuō that hoti we will also kai live syzaō with him autos. ⁹ We know oida that hoti Christ Christos, having been raised egeirō from ek the dead nekros, will apothnēskō never die apothnēskō again ouketi; death thanatos no longer ouketi has mastery kyrieuō over him autos. ¹⁰ For gar the death hos he died apothnēskō, he died apothnēskō to ho sin hamartia once ephapax for all ; but de the life hos he lives zaō, he lives zaō to ho God theos. ¹¹ So houtōs you hymeis too kai consider logizomai yourselves heautou to be eimi dead nekros to ho sin hamartia but de alive zaō to ho God theos in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous.

²⁴ “A disciple mathētēs is eimi not ou above hyper his ho teacher didaskalos, nor oude a servant above hyper · ho his autos master kyrios. ²⁵ It is enough arketos for the ho disciple mathētēs that hina he be ginomai as hōs · ho his autos teacher didaskalos, and kai the ho servant as hōs · ho his autos master kyrios. If ei they have called epikaleō the ho head oikodespotēs of the house ‘ Beelzebul Beelzeboul,’ how posos much more mallon will they revile the ho members oikiakos of his autos household !

²⁶ “ Therefore oun do not mē be afraid phobeomai of them autos; for gar there is eimi nothing oudeis covered kalyptō that hos will not ou be uncovered apokalyptō, and kai hidden kryptos that hos will not ou be made known ginōskō. ²⁷ What hos I say legō to you hymeis in en the ho darkness skotia, speak legō in en the ho light phōs; and kai what hos you hear akouō in eis the ho ear ous proclaim kēryssō from epi the ho housetops dōma. ²⁸ · kai Do not mē be afraid phobeomai of apo those ho who can kill apokteinō the ho body sōma but de cannot mē kill apokteinō the ho soul psychē. Rather de mallon, fear phobeomai the ho one who can dynamai destroy apollymi both kai soul psychē and kai body sōma in en hell geenna. ²⁹ Are pōleō not ouchi two dyo sparrows strouthion sold pōleō for a penny assarion? Yet kai not ou one heis of ek them autos will fall piptō to epi the ho ground gē apart aneu from · ho your hymeis Father patēr. ³⁰ But de even kai the ho hairs thrix of ho your hymeis head kephalē have all pas been eimi counted arithmeō. ³¹ So oun do not mē be afraid phobeomai; you hymeis are of greater value diapherō than many polys sparrows strouthion. ³² So oun everyone pas who hostis will acknowledge homologeō me egō before emprosthen · ho others anthrōpos, I kagō will acknowledge homologeō him autos before emprosthen · ho my egō Father patēr who ho is in en · ho heaven ouranos; ³³ but de whoever hostis disowns arneomai me egō before emprosthen · ho others anthrōpos, I kagō will disown arneomai him autos before emprosthen · ho my egō Father patēr who ho is in en · ho heaven ouranos.

³⁴ “ Do not mē think nomizō that hoti I have come erchomai to bring ballō peace eirēnē to epi the ho earth gē. I did not ou come erchomai to bring ballō peace eirēnē, but alla a sword machaira. ³⁵ For gar I came erchomai to turn dichazō a man anthrōpos against kata · ho his autos father patēr, and kai a daughter thugatēr against kata · ho her autos mother mētēr, and kai a daughter-in-law nymphē against kata · ho her autos mother-in-law penthera; ³⁶ and kai a man’ s anthrōpos enemies echthros · ho will be · ho members oikiakos of his autos own household. ³⁷ Whoever ho loves phileō father patēr or ē mother mētēr more hyper than me egō is eimi not ou worthy axios of me egō, and kai whoever ho loves phileō son hyios or ē daughter thugatēr more hyper than me egō is eimi not ou worthy axios of me egō. ³⁸ And kai whoever hos does not ou take lambanō up · ho his autos cross stauros and kai follow akoloutheō me egō is eimi not ou worthy axios of me egō. ³⁹ Whoever ho finds heuriskō · ho his autos life psychē will lose apollymi it autos, but kai whoever ho loses apollymi · ho his autos life psychē for my egō sake will find heuriskō it autos.
