The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 quid ergo dicemus permanebimus in peccato ut gratia abundet
1
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 absit qui enim mortui sumus peccato quomodo adhuc vivemus in illo
2
Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
3 an ignoratis quia quicumque baptizati sumus in Christo Iesu in morte ipsius baptizati sumus
3
Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
4 consepulti enim sumus cum illo per baptismum in mortem ut quomodo surrexit Christus a mortuis per gloriam Patris ita et nos in novitate vitae ambulemus
4
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 si enim conplantati facti sumus similitudini mortis eius simul et resurrectionis erimus
5
For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
6 hoc scientes quia vetus homo noster simul crucifixus est ut destruatur corpus peccati ut ultra non serviamus peccato
6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
7 qui enim mortuus est iustificatus est a peccato
7
For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8 si autem mortui sumus cum Christo credimus quia simul etiam vivemus cum Christo
8
Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9 scientes quod Christus surgens ex mortuis iam non moritur mors illi ultra non dominabitur
9
knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
10 quod enim mortuus est peccato mortuus est semel quod autem vivit vivit Deo
10
For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
11 ita et vos existimate vos mortuos quidem esse peccato viventes autem Deo in Christo Iesu
11
Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 non ergo regnet peccatum in vestro mortali corpore ut oboediatis concupiscentiis eius
12
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13 sed neque exhibeatis membra vestra arma iniquitatis peccato sed exhibete vos Deo tamquam ex mortuis viventes et membra vestra arma iustitiae Deo
13
And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
14 peccatum enim vobis non dominabitur non enim sub lege estis sed sub gratia
14
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 quid ergo peccavimus quoniam non sumus sub lege sed sub gratia absit
15
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
16 nescitis quoniam cui exhibetis vos servos ad oboediendum servi estis eius cui oboeditis sive peccati sive oboeditionis ad iustitiam
16
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
17 gratias autem Deo quod fuistis servi peccati oboedistis autem ex corde in eam formam doctrinae in qua traditi estis
17
But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.
18 liberati autem a peccato servi facti estis iustitiae
18
And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 humanum dico propter infirmitatem carnis vestrae sicut enim exhibuistis membra vestra servire inmunditiae et iniquitati ad iniquitatem ita nunc exhibete membra vestra servire iustitiae in sanctificationem
19
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
20 cum enim servi essetis peccati liberi fuistis iustitiae
20
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21 quem ergo fructum habuistis tunc in quibus nunc erubescitis nam finis illorum mors est
21
What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 nunc vero liberati a peccato servi autem facti Deo habetis fructum vestrum in sanctificationem finem vero vitam aeternam
22
But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
23 stipendia enim peccati mors gratia autem Dei vita aeterna in Christo Iesu Domino nostro
23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
