Romans 6 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
^6:2 God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live in it?
^6:3 Or are you⁺ ignorant that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
^6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
^6:5 For if we have become united with [him] in the likeness of his death, we will be also [in the likeness] of his resurrection;
^6:6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be done away, it no longer to serve us as slaves to sin;
^6:7 for he who has died is justified from sin.
^6:8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
^6:9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dies no more; death no more has dominion over him.
^6:10 For the death that he died, he died to sin once: but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
^6:11 Even so reckon⁺ also yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
^6:12 Don't let sin therefore reign in your⁺ mortal body, that you⁺ should obey its desires:
^6:13 neither present your⁺ members to sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your⁺ members [as] instruments of righteousness to God.
^6:14 For sin will not have dominion over you⁺: for you⁺ are not under law, but under grace.
^6:15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.
^6:16 Don't you⁺ know, that to whom you⁺ present yourselves [as] slaves to obedience, his slaves you⁺ are whom you⁺ obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
^6:17 But thanks be to God, that, whereas you⁺ were slaves of sin, you⁺ became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you⁺ were delivered;
^6:18 and being made free from sin, you⁺ were made a slave to righteousness.
^6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your⁺ flesh: for as you⁺ presented your⁺ members [as] slaves to impurity and to iniquity to iniquity, even so now present your⁺ members [as] slaves to righteousness to sanctification.
^6:20 For when you⁺ were slaves of sin, you⁺ were free in regard of righteousness.
^6:21 What fruit then did you⁺ have at that time in the things of which you⁺ are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
^6:22 But now being made free from sin and being made slaves to God, you⁺ have your⁺ fruit to sanctification, and the end eternal life.
^6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
