罗马书 6
与基督同死同活
1 那么，我们该怎么说呢？我们可以继续犯罪，使恩典显得更丰富吗？2 绝不可以！我们既然向罪死了，岂可继续活在罪中？3 难道你们不知道，我们受洗归属基督耶稣是和祂一同死吗？4 我们借着洗礼和祂一同死了，埋葬了，这样我们的一举一动可以有新生命的样式，正如基督借着父的荣耀从死里复活一样。
5 如果我们和基督一同死了，也必和祂一同复活。6 我们知道，我们的旧我已经和祂一同钉在十字架上，使辖制我们身体的罪失去力量，使我们不再做罪的奴隶。7 因为人一旦死了，便脱离了罪。
8 如果我们与基督同死，相信也必与祂同活。9 因为我们知道，基督既然从死里复活了，就不会再死，死亡也不能再控制祂。10 祂死，是向罪死，只死一次；祂活，却是向上帝永远活着。
11 这样，你们应当看自己是向罪死了，但向上帝则看自己是活在基督耶稣里。
12 所以，不要让罪辖制你们必死的身体，使你们顺从身体的私欲；13 也不要将你们的身体献给罪作不义的工具，而是要像一个从死里复活的人将自己奉献给上帝，把身体献给上帝作义的工具。14 罪不能再主宰你们，因为你们已经不在律法之下，而是在恩典之中。
做义的奴仆
15 那么，我们在恩典之中，不在律法之下，就可以任意犯罪吗？绝不可以！16 你们难道不明白吗？你们献身给谁、服从谁，就是谁的奴隶。做罪的奴隶，结局是死亡；做上帝的奴仆，就被称为义人。17 感谢上帝！你们从前虽然做过罪的奴隶，现在却衷心服从了所传给你们的教导，18 从罪中得到释放，成为义的奴仆。
19 因为你们有人性的软弱，我就从人的立场向你们解释。以前你们将身体献给肮脏不法的事，任其奴役，助长不法。现在你们要将身体奉献给义，为义效劳，成为圣洁的人。
20 你们做罪的奴隶时，不受义的约束，21 做了现在想起来也觉得羞耻的事，得到了什么益处呢？那些事只能导致死亡！22 但现在你们已从罪中得到释放，做了上帝的奴仆，这样会使你们圣洁，最终得到永生。23 因为罪的代价就是死亡，而上帝借着主基督耶稣赐下的礼物则是永生。
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.
