New Testament

Romans 6

1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?

τι ουν ερουμεν; επιμενουμεν τη αμαρτια ινα η χαρις πλεοναση;

2Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

μη γενοιτο. οιτινες απεθανομεν τη αμαρτια, πως ετι ζησομεν εν αυτη;

3Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

η αγνοειτε οτι οσοι εβαπτισθημεν εις χριστον ιησουν, εις τον θανατον αυτου εβαπτισθημεν;

4Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

συνεταφημεν ουν αυτω δια του βαπτισματος εις τον θανατον, ινα ωσπερ ηγερθη χριστος εκ νεκρων δια της δοξης του πατρος, ουτως και ημεις εν καινοτητι ζωης περιπατησωμεν.

5For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

ει γαρ συμφυτοι γεγοναμεν τω ομοιωματι του θανατου αυτου, αλλα και της αναστασεως εσομεθα,

6knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

τουτο γινωσκοντες, οτι ο παλαιος ημων ανθρωπος συνεσταυρωθη ινα καταργηθη το σωμα της αμαρτιας, του μηκετι δουλευειν ημας τη αμαρτια·

7For he who has died has been freed from sin.

ο γαρ αποθανων δεδικαιωται απο της αμαρτιας.

8Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

ει δε απεθανομεν συν χριστω, πιστευομεν οτι και συζησομεν αυτω,

9knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

ειδοτες οτι χριστος εγερθεις εκ νεκρων ουκετι αποθνησκει, θανατος αυτου ουκετι κυριευει.

10For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

ο γαρ απεθανεν, τη αμαρτια απεθανεν εφαπαξ, ο δε ζη, ζη τω θεω.

11Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

ουτως και υμεις λογιζεσθε εαυτους νεκρους μεν ειναι τη αμαρτια, ζωντας δε τω θεω εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων.

12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

μη ουν βασιλευετω η αμαρτια εν τω θνητω υμων σωματι εις το υπακουειν αυτη εν ταις επιθυμιαις αυτου,

13And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

μηδε παριστανετε τα μελη υμων οπλα αδικιας τη αμαρτια, αλλα παραστησατε εαυτους τω θεω ως εκ νεκρων ζωντας και τα μελη υμων οπλα δικαιοσυνης τω θεω.

14For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

αμαρτια γαρ υμων ου κυριευσει· ου γαρ εστε υπο νομον, αλλ υπο χαριν.

15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!

τι ουν; αμαρτησομεν οτι ουκ εσμεν υπο νομον, αλλ υπο χαριν; μη γενοιτο.

16Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

ουκ οιδατε οτι ω παριστανετε εαυτους δουλους εις υπακοην, δουλοι εστε ω υπακουετε, ητοι αμαρτιας εις θανατον η υπακοης εις δικαιοσυνην;

17But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

χαρις δε τω θεω οτι ητε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, υπηκουσατε δε εκ καρδιας εις ον παρεδοθητε τυπον διδαχης,

18And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

ελευθερωθεντες δε απο της αμαρτιας εδουλωθητε τη δικαιοσυνη.

19I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

ανθρωπινον λεγω δια την ασθενειαν της σαρκος υμων. ωσπερ γαρ παρεστησατε τα μελη υμων δουλα τη ακαθαρσια και τη ανομια εις την ανομιαν, ουτως νυν παραστησατε τα μελη υμων δουλα τη δικαιοσυνη εις αγιασμον.

20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

οτε γαρ δουλοι ητε της αμαρτιας, ελευθεροι ητε τη δικαιοσυνη.

21What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

τινα ουν καρπον ειχετε τοτε εφ οις νυν επαισχυνεσθε; το γαρ τελος εκεινων θανατος.

22But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

νυνι δε ελευθερωθεντες απο της αμαρτιας δουλωθεντες δε τω θεω εχετε τον καρπον υμων εις αγιασμον, το δε τελος ζωην αιωνιον.

23For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

τα γαρ οψωνια της αμαρτιας θανατος, το δε χαρισμα του θεου ζωη αιωνιος εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων.
