Romans 6 Pros Rōmaioin 6
1Tinem oun legani? ⸀epimenaneiō ta hamarta, hina tas charitas pleonazateia?What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2mē genetoia; hotinois apothnēskana ta hamarta, pōs ēti zōani en auta?Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer? 3ē agnoavō hoti hosois baptizina eis Christon Iēsun eis ton thanaton autou baptizina?Or aren’t you aware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4sunthaptina oun auto dia teu baptismeu eis ton thanaton, hina hōsper egerita Christos ek nekroiu dia tau doxau tou patrou, houtōs kai nis en kainota zōau peripataneia.We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may walk in newness of life.
5Ei gar sumfutois genanē te homoiōme tou thanatou autou, alla kai tau anastasiau eni;For if we have been united with Him like this in His death, we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection. 6houtem gnōskarōntois hoti tos palaios nu anthrōpos sustaurita, hina katargiteia tem sōmem tau hamartau, teu mēketi douleuarō nin ta hamarta,We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin. 7tos gar apothnēskarantos dikaiotē apo tau hamartau.For anyone who has died has been freed from sin. 8ei de apothnēskana sun Christo, pisteuanō hoti kai suzani auto;Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him. 9oidarēntois hoti Christos egerirantos ek nekroiu ouketi apothnēskatō, thanatos autou ouketi kurieuatō;For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, He cannot die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. 10hem gar apothnēskata, ta hamarta apothnēskata efapax; hem de zōatō, zōatō to theo.The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. 11houtōs kai vis logizovōr heautoin ⸂arō nekroin men⸃ ta hamarta zōarōntoin de to theo en Christo ⸀Iēso.So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12Mē oun basilatōr tas hamartas en te thnēte vu sōme eis tem ⸀hupakouarō tai epithumiai auteu,Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires. 13mēde parastēavōr teim meleim vu hopleim adikiau ta hamarta, alla parastēavar heautoin to theo ⸀hōsei ek nekroiu zōarōntoin kai teim meleim vu hopleim dikaiosunau to theo.Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. 14hamartas gar vu ouk kurieuati, ouk gar avō hupo nomon alla hupo charitan.For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
15Tinem oun? ⸀hamartaneia hoti ouk anō hupo nomon alla hupo charitan? mē genetoia;What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not! 16ouk oidavē hoti ho parastēavō heautoin douloin eis hupakoan, doulois avō ho hupakouavō, ētoi hamartau eis thanaton ē hupakoau eis dikaiosunan?Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness? 17charitas de to theo hoti ave doulois tau hamartau hupakouava de ek kardiau eis hon paradōiva tupon didachau,But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed. 18eleutherirantois de apo tau hamartau douliva ta dikaiosuna;You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. 19anthrōpinem legamō dia tan asthenian tau sarkau vu; hōsper gar parastēava teim meleim vu douleim ta akatharsia kai ta anomia eis tan anomian, houtōs nun parastēavar teim meleim vu douleim ta dikaiosuna eis hagiasmon.I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.
20Hote gar doulois ave tau hamartau, eleutherois ave ta dikaiosuna.For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness. 21tinon oun karpon echave tote epi hei nun epaischunovō? tem gar telem ekeinoiu thanatos;What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death. 22nuni de, eleutherirantois apo tau hamartau doulirantois de to theo, echavō ton karpon vu eis hagiasmon, tem de telem zōan aiōnian.But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life. 23teim gar opsōnieim tau hamartau thanatos, tem de charismem tou theou zōas aiōnias en Christo Iēso to kurio nu.For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
