Paul To The Romans

The Concordant Version

The King James Version

Chapter 6 (CV)

¹ What, then, shall we declare? That we may be persisting in sin that grace should be increasing?
² May it not be coming to that! We, who died to sin, how shall we still be living in it?
³ Or are you ignorant that whoever are baptized into Christ Jesus, are baptized into His death?
⁴ We, then, were entombed together with Him through baptism into death, that, even as Christ was roused from among the dead through the glory of the Father, thus we also should be walking in newness of life.
⁵ For if we have become planted together in the likeness of His death, nevertheless we shall be of the resurrection also,
⁶ knowing this, that our old humanity was crucified together with Him, that the body of Sin may be nullified, for us by no means to be still slaving for Sin,
⁷ for one who dies has been justified from Sin.
⁸ Now if we died together with Christ, we believe that we shall be living together with Him also,
⁹ having perceived that Christ, being roused from among the dead, is no longer dying. Death is lording it over Him no longer,
¹⁰ for in that He died, He died to Sin once for all time, yet in that He is living, He is living to God.
¹¹ Thus you also, be reckoning yourselves to be dead, indeed, to Sin, yet living to God in Christ Jesus, our Lord.
¹² Let not Sin, then, be reigning in your mortal body, for you to be obeying its lusts.
¹³ Nor yet be presenting your members, as implements of injustice, to Sin, but present yourselves to God as if alive from among the dead, and your members as implements of righteousness to God.
¹⁴ For Sin shall not be lording it over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.
¹⁵ What then? Should we be sinning, seeing that we are not under law, but under grace? May it not be coming to that!
¹⁶ Are you not aware that to whom you are presenting yourselves as slaves for obedience, his slaves you are, whom you are obeying, whether of Sin for death, or of Obedience for righteousness?
¹⁷ Now thanks be to God that you were slaves of Sin, yet you obey from the heart the type of teaching to which you were given over.
¹⁸ Now, being freed from Sin, you are enslaved to Righteousness.
¹⁹ As a man am I saying this, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For even as you present your members as slaves to Uncleanness and to Lawlessness for lawlessness, thus now present your members as slaves to Righteousness for holiness.
²⁰ For when you were slaves of Sin, you were free as to Righteousness.
²¹ What fruit, then, had you then? -- of which you are now ashamed, for, indeed, the consummation of those things is death.
²² Yet, now, being freed from Sin, yet enslaved to God, you have your fruit for holiness. Now the consummation is life eonian.
²³ For the ration of Sin is death, yet the gracious gift of God is life eonian, in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Chapter 6 (KJV)

¹ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
² God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
³ Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
⁴ Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
⁵ For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
⁶ Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
⁷ For he that is dead is freed from sin.
⁸ Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
⁹ Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
¹⁰ For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
¹¹ Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
¹³ Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
¹⁶ Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
¹⁷ But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
¹⁸ Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
¹⁹ I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
²⁰ For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
²¹ What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
²² But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
