Romans 6
6
1 So what shall we say? Should we remain in sin, so that grace may abound?
2 Let it not be so! For how can we who have died to sin still live in sin?
3 Do you not know that those of us who have been baptized in Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death?
4 For through baptism we have been buried with him into death, so that, in the manner that Christ rose from the dead, by the glory of the Father, so may we also walk in the newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together, in the likeness of his death, so shall we also be, in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 For we know this: that our former selves have been crucified together with him, so that the body which is of sin may be destroyed, and moreover, so that we may no longer serve sin.
7 For he who has died has been justified from sin.
8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with Christ.
9 For we know that Christ, in rising up from the dead, can no longer die: death no longer has dominion over him.
10 For in as much as he died for sin, he died once. But in as much as he lives, he lives for God.
11 And so, you should consider yourselves to be certainly dead to sin, and to be living for God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12 Therefore, let not sin reign in your mortal body, such that you would obey its desires.
13 Nor should you offer the parts of your body as instruments of iniquity for sin. Instead, offer yourselves to God, as if you were living after death, and offer the parts of your body as instruments of justice for God.
14 For sin should not have dominion over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.
15 What is next? Should we sin because we are not under the law, but under grace? Let it not be so!
16 Do you not know to whom you are offering yourselves as servants under obedience? You are the servants of whomever you obey: whether of sin, unto death, or of obedience, unto justice.
17 But thanks be to God that, though you used to be the servants of sin, now you have been obedient from the heart to the very form of the doctrine into which you have been received.
18 And having been freed from sin, we have become servants of justice.
19 I am speaking in human terms because of the infirmity of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of your body to serve impurity and iniquity, for the sake of iniquity, so also have you now yielded the parts of your body to serve justice, for the sake of sanctification.
20 For though you were once the servants of sin, you have become the children of justice.
21 But what fruit did you hold at that time, in those things about which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Yet truly, having been freed now from sin, and having been made servants of God, you hold your fruit in sanctification, and truly its end is eternal life.
23 For the wages of sin is death. But the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 6
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.
