Romans 6 King James Version 1611

From Textus Receptus

• 1 What shall we say then? shall wee continue in sinne: that grace may abound?
• 2 God forbid: how shall wee that are dead to sinne, liue any longer therein?
• 3 Know ye not, that so many of vs as were baptized into Iesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
• 4 Therefore wee are buryed with him by baptisme into death, that like as Christ was raised vp from the dead by the glorie of the Father: euen so wee also should walke in newnesse of life.
• 5 For if we haue bene planted together in the likenesse of his death: wee shalbe also in the likenesse of his resurrection:
• 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the bodie of sinne might bee destroyed, that hencefoorth we should not serue sinne.
• 7 For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.
• 8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shal also liue with him:
• 9 Knowing that Christ being raysed from the dead, dieth no more, death hath no more dominion ouer him.
• 10 For in that he dyed, he dyed vnto sinne once: but in that hee liueth, hee liueth vnto God.
• 11 Likewise reckon yee also your selues to be dead indeed vnto sinne: but aliue vnto God, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
• 12 Let not sinne reigne therfore in your mortall body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
• 13 Neither yeeld yee your members as instruments of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but yeelde your selues vnto God, as those that are aliue from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousnesse vnto God.
• 14 For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you, for yee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace.
• 15 What then? shal we sinne, because wee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace? God forbid.
• 16 Know ye not, that to whom yee yeeld your selues seruants to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey: whether of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?
• 17 But God bee thanked, that yee were the seruants of sinne: but ye haue obeyed from the heart that fourme of doctrine, which was deliuered you.
• 18 Being then made free from sinne, yee became the seruants of righteousnesse.
• 19 I speake after the maner of men, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue yeelded your members seruants to vncleannesse and to iniquitie, vnto iniquitie: euen so now yeelde your members seruants to righteousnesse, vnto holinesse.
• 20 For when yee were the seruants of sinne ye were free from righteousnesse.
• 21 What fruit had yee then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
• 22 But now being made free from sinne, and become seruants to God, yee haue your fruit vnto holinesse, and the end euerlasting life.
• 23 For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
