Romans 6

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 What should we say then? Should we keep on sinning so that God's grace can increase?

2 Not at all! As far as sin is concerned, we are dead. So how can we keep on sinning?

3 All of us were baptized into Christ Jesus. Don't you know that we were baptized into his death?

4 By being baptized, we were buried with Christ into his death. Christ has been raised from the dead by the Father's glory. And like Christ we also can live a new life.

5 By being baptized, we have been joined with him in his death. We will certainly also be joined with him in his resurrection.

6 We know that what we used to be was nailed to the cross with him. That happened so our sinful bodies would lose their power. We are no longer slaves of sin.

7 Those who have died have been set free from sin.

8 We died with Christ. So we believe that we will also live with him.

9 We know that Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again. Death doesn't control him anymore.

10 When he died, he died once and for all time as far as sin is concerned. Now that he lives, he lives as far as God is concerned.

11 In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead as far as sin is concerned. Now that you believe in Christ Jesus, consider yourselves to be alive as far as God is concerned.

12 So don't let sin rule your body, which is going to die. Don't obey its evil longings.

13 Don't give the parts of your body to serve sin. Don't let them be used to do evil. Instead, give yourselves to God. You have been brought from death to life. Give the parts of your body to him to do what is right.

14 Sin will not be your master. Law does not rule you. God's grace has set you free.

15 What should we say then? Should we sin because we are not ruled by law but by God's grace? Not at all!

16 Don't you know that when you give yourselves to obey someone you become that person's slave? You can be slaves of sin. Then you will die. Or you can be slaves who obey God. Then you will live a godly life.

17 You used to be slaves of sin. But thank God that with your whole heart you obeyed the teachings you were given!

18 You have been set free from sin. You have become slaves to right living.

19 Because you are human, you find this hard to understand. So I have said it in a way that will help you understand it. You used to give the parts of your body to be slaves to unclean living. You were becoming more and more evil. Now give your bodies to be slaves to right living. Then you will become holy.

20 Once you were slaves of sin. At that time right living did not control you.

21 What benefit did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Those things lead to death!

22 You have been set free from sin. God has made you his slaves. The benefit you gain leads to holy living. And the end result is eternal life.

23 When you sin, the pay you get is death. But God gives you the gift of eternal life because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.

Wycliffe WYC

1 Therefore what shall we say? Shall we dwell in sin, that grace be plenteous?

2 God forbid [Far be it]. For how shall we that be dead to sin, live yet therein?

3 Whether, brethren, ye know not, that whichever we be baptized in Christ Jesus, we be baptized in his death?

4 For we be together buried with him by baptism into death; that as Christ arose from death [that as Christ rose from dead] by the glory of the Father, so [and] walk we in a newness of life.

5 For if we planted together be made to the likeness of his death, also we shall be of the likeness of his rising again;

6 witting this thing, that our old man is crucified together, that the body of sin be destroyed, that we serve no more to sin.

7 For he that is dead [to sin], is justified from sin.

8 And if we be dead with Christ, we believe that also we shall live together with him;

9 witting that Christ, rising again from death [rising again from dead], now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship on him.

10 For that he was dead to sin, he was dead once; but that he liveth, he liveth to God.

11 So [and] ye deem yourselves to be dead [soothly] to sin, but living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Therefore reign not sin in your deadly body, that ye obey to his covetings.

13 Neither give ye your members arms of wickedness to sin, but give ye yourselves to God, as they that live of dead men, and your members arms of rightwiseness to God.

14 For sin shall not have lordship over you; for ye be not under the law, but under grace.

15 What therefore? Shall we do sin [Shall we sin], for we be not under the law, but under grace? God forbid [Far be it].

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye give yourselves servants to obey to, ye be servants of that thing, to which ye have obeyed [Know ye not, for to whom ye give you servants to obey, ye be servants of that thing, to whom ye have obeyed], either of sin to death, either of obedience to rightwiseness?

17 But I thank God, that ye were servants of sin; but ye have obeyed of heart into that form of teaching, in which ye be betaken.

18 And ye delivered from sin, be made servants of rightwiseness.

19 I say that thing that is of man, for the unsteadfastness of your flesh [for the infirmity, or unstableness, of your flesh]. But as ye have given your members to serve to uncleanness, and to wickedness into wickedness, so now give ye your members to serve to rightwiseness into holiness.

20 For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free of rightwiseness.

21 Therefore what fruit had ye then in those things, in which ye shame now? For the end of them is death.

22 But now ye delivered from sin, and made servants to God, have your fruit into holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; the grace of God is everlasting life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
