Romans 6:10 – 23

¹⁰ For in that he died, he died unto sin once (for all): but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

¹¹ Likewise reckon (think, consider) ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through (in) Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹² Let not sin therefore reign (legal authority) in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof (for obeying its sinful desires).

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 (strength, power) over you: for ye are not under (beneath) the law, but under (beneath) grace.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under (beneath) the law, but under (beneath) 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 (in bondage) 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 (slaves, in bondage) of righteousness.

¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity (feebleness, sickness; opposite of holy) of your flesh (human nature): for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity (lawlessness) unto iniquity (lawlessness); even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness (pure).

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( in) Jesus Christ our Lord.
