罗马书 6
在罪上死，在基督里活
1 这样，怎么说呢？我们可以仍在罪中、叫恩典显多吗？ 2 断乎不可！我们在罪上死了的人岂可仍在罪中活着呢？ 3 岂不知我们这受洗归入基督耶稣的人是受洗归入他的死吗？ 4 所以，我们借着洗礼归入死，和他一同埋葬，原是叫我们一举一动有新生的样式，像基督借着父的荣耀从死里复活一样。 5 我们若在他死的形状上与他联合，也要在他复活的形状上与他联合； 6 因为知道我们的旧人和他同钉十字架，使罪身灭绝，叫我们不再作罪的奴仆； 7 因为已死的人是脱离了罪。 8 我们若是与基督同死，就信必与他同活。 9 因为知道基督既从死里复活，就不再死，死也不再作他的主了。 10 他死是向罪死了，只有一次；他活是向 神活着。 11 这样，你们向罪也当看自己是死的；向 神在基督耶稣里，却当看自己是活的。
12 所以，不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王，使你们顺从身子的私欲。 13 也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具；倒要像从死里复活的人，将自己献给 神，并将肢体作义的器具献给 神。 14 罪必不能作你们的主；因你们不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。
义的奴仆
15 这却怎么样呢？我们在恩典之下，不在律法之下，就可以犯罪吗？断乎不可！ 16 岂不晓得你们献上自己作奴仆，顺从谁，就作谁的奴仆吗？或作罪的奴仆，以至于死；或作顺命的奴仆，以至成义。 17 感谢 神！因为你们从前虽然作罪的奴仆，现今却从心里顺服了所传给你们道理的模范。 18 你们既从罪里得了释放，就作了义的奴仆。 19 我因你们肉体的软弱，就照人的常话对你们说。你们从前怎样将肢体献给不洁不法作奴仆，以至于不法；现今也要照样将肢体献给义作奴仆，以至于成圣。 20 因为你们作罪之奴仆的时候，就不被义约束了。 21 你们现今所看为羞耻的事，当日有什么果子呢？那些事的结局就是死。 22 但现今，你们既从罪里得了释放，作了 神的奴仆，就有成圣的果子，那结局就是永生。 23 因为罪的工价乃是死；惟有 神的恩赐，在我们的主基督耶稣里，乃是永生。
Romans 6
The Believer’s Freedom from Sin’s Domination
1 What shall we say then? Are we to remain in sin so that grace may increase?2 Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?3 Or do you not know that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we have been buried with him through baptism into death, in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may live a new life.t
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.t6 We know thatt our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us,t so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
7 (For someone who has died has been freed from sin.)s
8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.9 We knowt that since Christ has been raised from the dead, he is never going to diet again; death no longer has mastery over him.10 For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11 So you too consider yourselvess dead to sin, butt alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires,13 and do not present your members to sin as instrumentst to be used for unrighteousness,t but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead and your members to God as instrumentst to be used for righteousness.
14 For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.
The Believer’s Enslavement to God’s Righteousness
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Absolutely not!16 Do you not know that if you present yourselvest as obedient slaves,t you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or obedience resulting in righteousness?t17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves to sin, you obeyedt from the heart that patternt of teaching you were entrusted to,18 and having been freed from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.19 (I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.)ts For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness.
21 So what benefitt did you then reapt from those things that you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.22 But now, freedt from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefitt leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.
23 For the payofft of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
