1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin,
  that grace may abound?
   2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin,
  live any longer therein?
   3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized
  into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
   4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into
  death: that like as Christ was raised up from the
  dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also
  should walk in newness of life.
   5 For if we have been planted together in the
  likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
  likeness of his resurrection:
   6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with
  him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that
  henceforth we should not serve sin.
   7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
   8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we
  shall also live with him:
   9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead
  dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
  10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in
  that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
  11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead
  indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus
  Christ our Lord.
  12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body,
  that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
  13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of
  unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto
  God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your
  members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
  14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye
  are not under the law, but under grace.
  15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under
  the law, but under grace? God forbid.
  16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves
  servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye
  obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto
  righteousness?
  17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of
  sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of
  doctrine which was delivered you.
  18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the
  servants of righteousness.
  19 I speak after the manner of men because of the
  infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your
  members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto
  iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to
  righteousness unto holiness.
  20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free
  from righteousness.
  21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye
  are now ashamed? for the end of those things is
  death.
  22 But now being made free from sin, and become
  servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness,
  and the end everlasting life.
  23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God
  is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
