6:1 这样,怎么说呢?我们可以仍在罪中,叫恩典显多吗?
6:2 断乎不可!我们在罪上死了的人岂可仍在罪中活着呢?
6:3 岂不知我们这受洗归入基督耶稣的人,是受洗归入他的死吗?
6:4 所以我们藉着洗礼归入死,和他一同埋葬,原是叫我们一举一动有新生的样式,像基督藉着父的荣耀从死里复活一样。
6:5 我们若在他死的形状上与他联合,也要在他复活的形状上与他联合。
6:6 因为知道我们的旧人和他同钉十字架,使罪身灭绝,叫我们不再作罪的奴仆,
6:7 因为已死的人是脱离了罪。
6:8 我们若是与基督同死,就信必与他同活,
6:9 因为知道基督既从死里复活,就不再死,死也不再作他的主了。
6:10 他死是向罪死了,只有一次;他活是向 神活着。
6:11 这样,你们向罪也当看自己是死的;向 神在基督耶稣里,却当看自己是活的。
6:12 所以,不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王,使你们顺从身子的私欲。
6:13 也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具;倒要像从死里复活的人,将自己献给 神,并将肢体作义的器具献给 神。
6:14 罪必不能作你们的主,因你们不在律法之下,乃在恩典之下。
6:15 这却怎么样呢?我们在恩典之下,不在律法之下,就可以犯罪吗?断乎不可!
1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4We 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 live a new life.
5If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.
6For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--
7because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
9For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
10The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
11In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
13Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.
14For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
