Romans 6

1What then shall we say? Are we to persist in Chet (sin) in order that the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem might increase?
2Chas v'shalom! Vi-bahlt (since) we have died to Chet, how can we still live in it?
3Or do you lack da'as that all we who were given a mikveh mayim tevilah into Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua were given a tevilah into Moshiachʼs histalkus, into his mavet (death)?
4So then we were co-buried, buried together with KIVRO#6:4 Isa 53:9 (Moshiachʼs kever) through a tevilah into mavet, in order that, just as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was given the Techiyah (Resurrection) from HaMesim (the Dead ones) through the Kavod HaAv, so we also should have a halakhah (walk) [lifnei Hashem] in hitkhadshut (renewal, regeneration), in Chayyim Chadashim (New Life).
5For if we have become grown together with the very likeness of his histalkus, his mavet (death), we shall certainly also be grown together with the very likeness of his Techiyah from HaMesim (Resurrection).
6Having da'as of this, that, with Moshiach, our old humanity (in Adam) has been put to death on Moshiachʼs Etz#6:6 Dt 21:23 (Tree, [the Etz HaKelelat Hashem], the Tree of the Curse of G-d) in order that the etsem HaAdam HaChet (the essence of the sinful human condition) might be done away with, so that we might no longer serve Chet (sin).#6:6 cf. Ro 6:23
7For he who has died is declared niftar (freed, deceased) from Chet.
8But if we have died with Moshiach, we believe that we shall also live with him,
9Having da'as that Moshiach, having been given the Techiyah (Resurrection) from the Mesim (Dead ones), no longer dies, Mavet (death) and Histalkus no longer exercise control over him.
10For the Mavet Moshiach died, he died to Chet (sin) once and for all; but the Chayyim Moshiach lives, he lives to Hashem.
11So also you must reckon yourselves mesim (dead ones) to Chet (Sin) but Chayyim l'Hashem baMoshiach Yehoshua (alive to G-d in Messiah Yehoshua).
12Therefore, do not let Chet (Sin) reign in your mortal body to obey its ta'avot,#6:12 Ro 5:17,21
13And do not give Chet (sin) control of your natural capacities as neshek (weapons) of peysha (unrighteousness, transgression), but present yourselves to Hashem as ones alive from the Mesim and present to Hashem your natural capacities as neshek (weapons) of Tzedek Olamim.
14For Chet (sin) shall not exercise bailus (sovereignty, ownership, dominion) over you; for you are not under Gezetz#6:14 Ro 8:2 but under Chesed (Grace).
15What then? Should we commit averah, because we are not under Gezetz#6:15 see Ro 8:2 (Law) but under Chesed (Grace)? Chas v'shalom!
16Do you not know that when you give control of yourselves as someoneʼs avadim (slaves) to obey him, you are the avadim (slaves) of the one you obey, whether of Chet (Sin) resulting in mavet (death), or of Lishmo'a b'kol Hashem (Listening to the voice of Hashem, mishma'at, obedience) resulting in Tzedek Olamim?
17But Baruch Hashem (Blessed be G-d) that you used to be avadim (slaves) of#6:17 slave master Chet, but you gave your mishma'at shebalev (obedience from the heart) to the pattern of Torah#6:17 Isa 42:4 (the pnimiyus Torah of Moshiach) to which you were handed over.
18Having been set free from#6:18 slave master Chet (sin), you became an eved of the Tzidkat Hashem (the righteousness of G-d).
19I speak in human terms on account of the weakness of your frail fallen humanity. For just as you handed over your natural capacities as avadim (slaves) to tum'a (uncleanness) and to lawlessness which results in lawlessness, so now hand over your natural capacities as servants of Tzidkat Hashem which results in kedushah (holiness).
20For when you were avadim (slaves) of Chet, you were free in relation to Tzedek Olamim.
21What p'ri for Hashem did you produce then? Things for which you now have bushah (shame), for the end result of those things is mavet (death).
22But now, having been set free from#6:22 slave master Chet (sin) and having been made an eved Hashem (a servant of G-d), you have your p'ri for Hashem, resulting in kedushah, and the end is Chayyei Olam (Eternal Life).
23For the loin (wages) that#6:23 slave master Chet (Sin) pays out of its own payroll is mavet (death); however, the gracious matnat hachesed Hashem (the gift of the grace of G-d) is Chayyei Olam baMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.

Romans 6
6
Dead to Sin, Alive to God
1What shall we say then? #Rom. 3:8; 6:15Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2Certainly not! How shall we who #(Rom. 6:11; 7:4, 6; Gal. 2:19; Col. 2:20; 3:3); 1 Pet. 2:24died to sin live any longer in it? 3Or do you not know that #Acts 2:38; 8:16; 19:5; (Gal. 3:27); Col. 2:12as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus #(1 Cor. 15:29)were baptized into His death? 4Therefore we were #Col. 2:12buried with Him through baptism into death, that #1 Cor. 6:14just as Christ was raised from the dead by #John 2:11the glory of the Father, #Rom. 7:6; (2 Cor. 5:17; Gal. 6:15; Eph. 4:23; Col. 3:10)even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5#2 Cor. 4:10; Phil. 3:10; Col. 2:12; 3:1For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that #Gal. 2:20; 5:24; 6:14our old man was crucified with Him, that #Col. 2:11the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7For #1 Pet. 4:1he who has died has been freed from sin. 8Now #Rom. 6:4; 2 Cor. 4:10; 2 Tim. 2:11if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9knowing that #Rev. 1:18Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10For the death that He died, #Heb. 9:27He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, #Luke 20:38He lives to God. 11Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be #(Rom. 6:2; 7:4, 6)dead indeed to sin, but #(Gal. 2:19; Col. 2:20; 3:3); 1 Pet. 2:24alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12#Ps. 19:13Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13And do not present your #Rom. 6:16, 19; 7:5; Col. 3:5; James 4:1members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but #Rom. 12:1; 2 Cor. 5:14; 1 Pet. 2:24; 4:2present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14For #(Rom. 7:4, 6; 8:2; Gal. 5:18)sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
15What then? Shall we sin #1 Cor. 9:21because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16Do you not know that #Prov. 5:22; (Matt. 6:24); John 8:34; 2 Pet. 2:19to 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? 17But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart #2 Tim. 1:13that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18And #John 8:32; Rom. 6:22; 8:2; 1 Cor. 7:22; Gal. 5:1; 1 Pet. 2:16having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19I 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.
20For when you were #John 8:34slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21#Jer. 12:13; Ezek. 16:63; Rom. 7:5What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For #Rom. 1:32; Gal. 6:8the end of those things is death. 22But now #(John 8:32); Rom. 6:18; 8:2having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23For #Gen. 2:17the wages of sin is death, but #Rom. 2:7; 1 Pet. 1:4the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
