Romanos 6

1 WhatHe passes now to another benefit of Christ, which is called sanctification or regeneration.shall we say then? Shall we continue inIn that corruption, for though the guiltiness of sin, is not imputed to us, yet the corruption still remains in us: and this is killed little by little by the sanctification that follows justification.sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid.The benefits of justification and sanctification are always inseparable joined together, and both of them proceed from Christ by the grace of God: now sanctification is the abolishing of sin, that is, of our natural corruption, whose place is taken by the cleanness and pureness of a reformed nature.How shall we, that areThey are said by Paul to be dead to sin, who are made partakers of the power of Christ, so that the natural corruption is dead in them, that is, the power of it is removed, and it does not bring forth its bitter fruits: and on the other hand, they are said to live to sin, who are in the flesh, that is, whom the Spirit of God has not delivered from the slavery of the corruption of nature.dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3 There are three parts of this sanctification: that is, the death of the old man or sin, his burial, and the resurrection of the new man, descending into us from the virtue of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, of which benefit our baptism is a sign and pledge.Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized intoTo the end that growing up as one with him, we should receive his strength to extinguish sin in us, and to make us new men.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 deadSo that Christ himself, being released of his infirmity and weakness, might live in glory with God forever.by the glory of the Father, even soAnd we who are his members rise for this purpose, that being made partakers of the very same power, we should begin to lead a new life, as though we were already in heaven.we also should walk in newness of life.

5 The death of sin and the life of righteousness, or our ingrafting into Christ, and growing up into one with him, cannot be separated by any means, neither in death nor life: by which it follows that no man is sanctified who lives still to sin, and therefore is no man made partaker of Christ by faith, who does not repent and turn from his wickedness: for as he said before, the law is not overturned but established by faith.For if we have been planted together in theAnd by means of the strength which comes from him to us, so we die to sin, as he is dead.likeness of his death, we shallFor every day we become more perfect: for we will never be perfectly sanctified, as long as we live here.be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that ourOur entire nature, as we are conceived and born into this world with sin, is called «old», partly by comparing that old Adam with Christ, and partly also in respect of the deformed state of our corrupt nature, which we change with a new.old man is crucified withOur corrupt nature is regarded as belonging to Christ, not because of what he has done, but by imputation.[him], that theThat wickedness which remains in us.body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should notThe end of sanctification which we aim at, and will at length come to, that is, when God will be all in all.serve sin.

7 He proves it by the effects of death, comparing Christ the head with his members.For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8 Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him,

9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sinOnce for all.once: but in that he liveth, he liveth untoWith God.God.

11 Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord.

12 An exhortation to contend and strive with corruption and all the effects of it.Let not sin thereforeBy reigning Paul means that principal and high rule which no man strives against, and even if anyone does, it is in vain.reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

13 NeitherTo sin, as to a Lord or tyrant.yield ye yourYour mind and all the powers of it.members [as]As instruments to commit wickedness with them.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 He grants that sin is not yet so dead in us that it is utterly extinct: but he promises victory to those that contend bravely, because we have the grace of God given to us which works so that the law is not now in us the power and instrument of sin.For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

15 To be under the law and under sin signifies the same thing, with respect to whose who are not sanctified, and on the other hand to be under grace and righteousness is in harmony with those that are regenerated. Now these are contraries, so that one cannot agree with the other: therefore let righteousness expel sin.What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

16 Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?

17 By nature we are slaves to sin and free from righteousness, but by the grace of God we are made servants to righteousness, and therefore free from sin.But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart thatThis type of speech has a special meaning in it: for he means by this that the doctrine of the gospel is like a certain mould in which we are cast, to be shaped and fashioned like it.form of doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse.

19 I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse.

21 An exhortation to the study of righteousness and hatred of sin, the contrary results of both being set down before us.What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for theThe reward or payment.end of those things [is] death.

22 But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life.

23 Death is the punishment due to sin, but we are sanctified freely, to everlasting life.For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
