What shall we say, then? Should we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it?
Or do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
So through baptism we were buried with him into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in his resurrection as well.
We know this: that our old self was crucified with him, so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless and we might no longer be slaves to sin—
for anyone who has died has been set free from sin.[^1] [^1]: Or "has been declared righteous from sin"; the verb is the same one Paul uses elsewhere for being justified.
And if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
For we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
The death he died, he died to sin once for all; the life he lives, he lives to God.
In the same way, consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, making you obey its desires.
Do not offer the parts of your body to sin as weapons of wickedness, but offer yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and offer the parts of your body to God as weapons of righteousness.
For sin shall not be your master, since you are not under law but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
Do you not know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves of sin, you have become obedient from the heart to the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted.
Having been set free from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.
I am using a human comparison because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you once offered the parts of your body as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, leading to still more lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, leading to holiness.
When you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.
What fruit did you have then from the things you are now ashamed of? For the end of those things is death.
But now, having been set free from sin and having become slaves of God, the fruit you have leads to holiness, and its end is eternal life.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
