NASB — Romans 6 — KJV

Believers Are Dead to Sin, Alive to God

1 aWhat° shall we say° then°? Are we to bcontinue° in sin° so° that grace° may increase°? 2 aMay it never° be! How° shall we who° bdied° to sin° still° live° in it? 3 Or° do you not know° that all° of us who° have been abaptized° into bChrist° Jesus° have been baptized° into His death°? 4 Therefore° we have been aburied° with Him through° baptism° into death°, so° that as Christ° was braised° from the dead° through° the cglory° of the Father°, so° we too° might walk° in dnewness° of life°. 5 For aif° we have become° Iunited° with [Him] in the likeness° of His death°, certainly° we shall also° be II[in the likeness] of His resurrection°, 6 knowing° this°, that our aold° Iself° was bcrucified° with [Him], in order° that our cbody° of sin° might be IIdone° away° with, so that we would no° longer° be slaves° to sin°; 7 for ahe who has died° is Ifreed° from sin°.

We may not live in sin,

1 ¶ Whatº shall we sayºª then?º Shall we continueºª in sin,º thatº graceº may abound?ºª

3 º Know ye not,ºª that² so¹ many of us¹ as² were baptizedºª intoº Jesusº Christº were baptizedºª intoº his¹² death?º 4 Thereforeº we are buried² with¹ª himº byº baptismº intoº death:º thatº like asº Christº was raised upºª fromº the deadº byº the² gloryº of the² Father,º even² soº weº alsoº should walkºª inº newnessº of life.º 5 Forº ifº we have beenºª planted togetherº in the² likenessº of his¹² death,º we shall beºª² alsoº¹ [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:º 6 Knowingºª this,º thatº ourº oldº manº is crucified withºª [him], thatº the² bodyº of sinº might be destroyed,ºª that henceforthºª weº should¹ª not¹ serveºª sin.º 7 Forº he that is deadºª is freedºª fromº sin.º 8 Nowº ifº we be deadºª withº Christ,º we believeºª thatº we shall¹ª alsoº live¹ª with² him:º 9 Knowingºª thatº Christº being raisedºª fromº the deadº diethºª no more;º deathº hath¹ª no more¹ dominion overºª² him.º 10 Forº¹ in that² he died,ºª he diedºª unto sinº once:º butº in thatº he liveth,ºª he livethºª unto God.º 11 Likewiseº reckonºª yeº alsoº yourselvesº to beºª deadº indeedº unto sin,º butº aliveºª unto Godº throughº Jesusº Christº ourº Lord.º
