Romiyim (Romans) 6
6
1What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, to let favour increase?
2Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin#See Rom. 8:13; Col. 3:3; 1Pe. 2:24 still live in it?
3Or do you not know that as many of us as were immersed into Messiah יהושע were immersed into His death?
4We were therefore buried with Him through immersion into death, that as Messiah was raised from the dead by the esteem of the Father, so also we should walk in newness of life.
5For if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also of the resurrection,
6knowing this, that our old man was impaled with Him, so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, to serve sin no longer.
7For he who has died has been made right from sin.
8And if we died with Messiah, we believe that we shall also live with Him,
9knowing that Messiah, having been raised from the dead, dies no more – death no longer rules over Him.
10For in that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives, He lives to Elohim.
11So you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah יהושע our Master.
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires,
13neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to Elohim as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to Elohim.
14For sin shall not rule over you,#See Gen. 4:7 for you are not under the law but under favour.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Torah but under favour? Let it not be!
16Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17But thanks to Elohim that you were servants of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18And having been set free from sin, you became servants of righteousness.
19I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even as you did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness resulting in set-apartness.
20For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21What fruit, therefore, were you having then, over which you are now ashamed? For the end thereof is death.
22But now, having been set free from sin, and having become servants of Elohim, you have your fruit resulting in set-apartness, and the end, everlasting life.
23For the wages of sin is death,#See Rom. 8:13 but the favourable gift of Elohim is everlasting life in Messiah יהושע our Master.

Dead to Sin but Alive in Christ
1So do you think we should continue sinning so that God will give us more and more grace? 2Of course not! Our old sinful life ended. It’s dead. So how can we continue living in sin? 3Did you forget that all of us became part of Christ Jesus when we were baptized? In our baptism we shared in his death. 4So when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ and took part in his death. And just as Christ was raised from death by the wonderful power of the Father, so we can now live a new life.
5Christ died, and we have been joined with him by dying too. So we will also be joined with him by rising from death as he did. 6We know that our old life was put to death on the cross with Christ. This happened so that our sinful selves would have no power over us. Then we would not be slaves to sin. 7Anyone who has died is made free from sin’s control.
8If we died with Christ, we know that we will also live with him. 9Christ was raised from death. And we know that he cannot die again. Death has no power over him now. 10Yes, when Christ died, he died to defeat the power of sin one time—enough for all time. He now has a new life, and his new life is with God. 11In the same way, you should see yourselves as being dead to the power of sin and alive for God through Christ Jesus.
12But don’t let sin control your life here on earth. You must not be ruled by the things your sinful self makes you want to do. 13Don’t offer the parts of your body to serve sin. Don’t use your bodies to do evil, but offer yourselves to God, as people who have died and now live. Offer the parts of your body to God to be used for doing good. 14Sin will not be your master, because you are not under law. You now live under God’s grace.
Slaves of Goodness
15So what should we do? Should we sin because we are under grace and not under law? Certainly not! 16Surely you know that you become the slaves of whatever you give yourselves to. Anything or anyone you follow will be your master. You can follow sin, or you can obey God. Following sin brings spiritual death, but obeying God makes you right with him. 17In the past you were slaves to sin—sin controlled you. But thank God, you fully obeyed what you were taught. 18You were made free from sin, and now you are slaves to what is right. 19I use this example from everyday life because you need help in understanding spiritual truths. In the past you offered the parts of your body to be slaves to your immoral and sinful thoughts. The result was that you lived only for sin. In the same way, you must now offer yourselves to be slaves to what is right. Then you will live only for God.
20In the past you were slaves to sin, and you did not even think about doing right. 21You did evil things, and now you are ashamed of what you did. Did those things help you? No, they only brought death. 22But now you are free from sin. You have become slaves of God, and the result is that you live only for God. This will bring you eternal life. 23When people sin, they earn what sin pays—death. But God gives his people a free gift—eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
