Romans 6:8-15 in English

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

⁹ knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

¹¹ Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:

¹³ neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as 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 law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

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.

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

⁹ knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death no more hath dominion over him.

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

¹¹ Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof:

¹³ neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as 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 law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid.

⁸ Since it is as though we died with Christ, we believe that we will continue to live with him.

⁹ We know that since God enabled Christ to live again after he died, Christ will never die again. Nothing will ever be able to make him die again PRS.

¹⁰ When he died, he died once for people who had sinned, and he will never die again; but in regard to his living again now, he lives in order to serve/honor God.

¹¹ Similarly, you must consider that it is as though you have become unable to do what your sinful desires MET want, as a corpse is not able to do what anyone wants it to do. You must also consider that because of your relationship to Christ Jesus you are living in a new way in order to serve/honor God.

¹² So, do not let the desire to sin PRS control your bodies MET with the result that you do the sinful things that you desire to do. Remember that your bodies will surely die, but your spirits will never die.

¹³ Do not let any of your body parts do wicked things, as you did MET when you were spiritually dead. Instead, present yourselves to God as people who are alive spiritually. Present all your body parts to God, to allow him to use them to do righteous things.

¹⁴ Do not let a desire to sin control you PRS. The laws that God gave Moses did not enable you to stop sinning. But now God controls you and kindly helps you not to sin.

¹⁵ I suppose that certain people might think about what I have just said and they might say RHQ, “ You say that the laws God gave Moses did not enable us to stop sinning, but that God is now treating us kindly in ways we do not deserve. ◄ That seems to mean that God permits us to continue sinning./ Does that mean that God permits us to continue sinning?► RHQ” My reply to that is no, we should certainly not continue sinning

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

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

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

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

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

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

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

⁸ But if we are dead with Christ, we have faith that we will be living with him;

⁹ Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.

¹⁰ For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

¹¹ Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

¹³ And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁴ For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

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

⁹ knowing that Christ having been raised up from among the dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.

¹⁰ For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ So also ye, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.

¹³ Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

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

¹⁵ What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.

⁸ Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also together with Christ:

⁹ Knowing that Christ rising again from the dead, dieth now no more, death shall no more have dominion over him.

¹⁰ For in that he died to sin, he died once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God:

¹¹ So do you also reckon, that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the lusts thereof.

¹³ Neither yield ye your members as instruments of iniquity unto sin; but present yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of justice unto God.

¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you; for you 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.

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

⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, no longer dies. Death is no longer master over Him.

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

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

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

¹³ nor 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.

¹⁴ For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

⁸ Now since we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him,

⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, cannot die again; death can no longer master Him

¹⁰ —the death He died He died to sin once for all, while the life He lives He lives to God.

¹¹ Thus you also, consider yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Therefore do not let the sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey it with the body's evil desires

¹³ —do not present any part of your body to sin as an implement for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your body parts to God as implements for righteousness.

¹⁴ Really, sin must not rule over you, because you are not under law but under grace.

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

⁸ Since we died with Christ, we have confidence that we will also live with him,

⁹ for we know that because Christ has been raised from the dead he won't ever die, because death has no longer any power over him.

¹⁰ In dying, he died to sin once and for all, but now he lives, and he lives for God!

¹¹ In just the same way you should consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God through Christ Jesus.

¹² Don't let sin have control over your mortal body, don't give in to its temptations,

¹³ and don't use any parts of your body as evil tools of sin. Instead dedicate yourselves to God as those who have been brought back from death to life, and use all parts of your body as tools to do something good for God.

¹⁴ Sin won't rule over you, because you're not under law but under grace.

¹⁵ So then, should we sin because we're not under law, but under grace? Of course not!

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 hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God.

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

¹² Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof:

¹³ Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God.

¹⁴ For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid.

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.

⁸ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him;

⁹ since we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath dominion over him no longer.

¹⁰ For in that he died, he died to sin once for all; but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

¹¹ Thus do ye too consider yourselves as dead to sin, but alive to God, through Jesus Christ.

¹² Let not then sin reign in your mortal body, bringing you into subjection to its lusts,

¹³ nor yield up your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but yield up yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

¹⁴ For sin shall not hold dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? Are we to sin, because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid!

⁸ And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ's death, we will also share his life.

⁹ We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.

¹⁰ For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.

¹¹ So let it be with you — regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.

¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.

¹³ Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.

¹⁴ For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.

¹⁵ What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!

⁸ And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ's death, we will also share his life.

⁹ We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.

¹⁰ For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the life that he now lives, he lives for God.

¹¹ So let it be with you — regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.

¹² Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.

¹³ Do not offer any part of your bodies to sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.

¹⁴ For sin will not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of love.

¹⁵ What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!

⁸ It is like we died, just like Jesus Christ died, and now we know that we will also live again with him.

⁹ He came back to life after he died, so we are sure that he can never die again. Nothing and can kill him ever again.

¹⁰ He did die once, for people that did bad things, but now he stays alive all the time with God.

¹¹ Well, we have to think about ourselves in that same way. We joined up with Jesus Christ, so now, if we start to think we want to do something bad we have to tell ourselves that we died, just like Jesus died, so we can’t do anything bad. We have to think about living God’s way and then we will be really alive, just like Jesus Christ is alive.

¹² So don’t just think about the law that comes from Moses. It talks about the bad things people do. If you just think about this you will want to do those same bad things yourself. In that way that law will be your boss and your bodies too will make you want to do bad. Don’t be like that. Don’t let any part of your body be your boss. Don’t do whatever it wants. Instead you have to give your bodies to God and let him use you to do good things. You have to think about him all the time and remember that he is very good to you, and that he made you alive again in a new way. If you think like this you will not want to do anything bad. God is really good to you. That law is not your boss any more.

¹⁵ But maybe you think like this, “We can do whatever bad things we want to do, because that law is not our boss any more and God will be good to us anyway.” No way. Don’t think like that.

⁸ Wherfore yf we be deed with Christ we beleve that we shall live with him:

⁹ remembringe that Christ once raysed from deeth dyeth no more. Deeth hath no moare power over him.

¹⁰ For as touchynge that he dyed he dyed concernynge synne once. And as touchinge that he liveth he liveth vnto God.

¹¹ Lykewyse ymagen ye also that ye are deed concernynge synne: but are alive vnto God thorow Iesus Christ oure Lorde.

¹² Let not synne raygne therfore in youre mortall bodyes that ye shuld thervnto obey in the lustes of it.

¹³ Nether geve ye youre members as instrumentes of vnrightewesnes vnto synne: but geve youre selves vnto God as they that are alive from deeth. And geve youre membres as iustrumetes of rightewesnes vnto God.

¹⁴ Let not synne have power over you. For ye are not vnder the lawe but vnder grace.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we synne because we are not vnder the lawe: but vnder grace? God forbyd.

⁸ But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live together with him.

⁹ We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead he cannot die again; death no longer has authority over him.

¹⁰ For in regard to the death that he died to sin, he died once for all. However, the life that he lives, he lives for God.

¹¹ In the same way, you also must consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² Therefore do not let sin rule in your mortal body in order that you may obey its lusts.

¹³ Do not present the parts of your body to sin, to be tools used for unrighteousness. But present yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and present the parts of your body to God as tools to be used for righteousness.

¹⁴ Do not allow sin to rule over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be.

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

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

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

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

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

⁸ Now if we are 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 to sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth to God.

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

¹² Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts of it.

¹³ Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin: but yield yourselves to God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to 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? By no means.

⁸ But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him,

⁹ knowing that Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

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

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

⁸ But if we died with Messiah, we believe that we will also live with him,

⁹ knowing that Messiah, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

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

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

⁸ And if we be dead with Christ, we believe that also we shall live together with him;

⁹ witting that Christ, rising again from death, now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship on him.

¹⁰ For that he was dead to sin, he was dead once; but that he liveth, he liveth to God.

¹¹ So ye deem yourselves to be dead to sin, but living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹² Therefore reign not sin in your deadly body, that ye obey to his covetings.

¹³ Neither give ye your members arms of wickedness to sin, but give ye yourselves to God, as they that live of dead men, and your members arms of rightwiseness to God.

¹⁴ For sin shall not have lordship over you; for ye be not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What therefore? Shall we do sin, for we be not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

⁸ And if we be dead with Christ (or And if we have died with the Messiah), we believe that also we shall live together with him;

⁹ witting that Christ, rising again from death or rising again from (the) dead, now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship on him. (knowing that the Messiah, rising again from the dead, now dieth not, death shall no more have lordship over him.)

¹⁰ For that he was dead to sin, he was dead once; but that he liveth, he liveth to God.

¹¹ So ye deem yourselves to be dead to sin, but living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹² Therefore reign not sin in your deadly body, that ye obey to his covetings. (And so do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that ye obey its desires.)

¹³ Neither give ye your members (as) armours, (or as arms, or as instruments), of wickedness to sin, but give ye yourselves to God, as they that live of dead men, and your members (as) armours, (or as arms, or as instruments), of rightwiseness to God.

¹⁴ For sin shall not have lordship over you; for ye be not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What therefore? Shall we do sin, for we be not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

⁸ And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall live with him,

⁹ knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

¹⁰ for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that he liveth, he liveth to God;

¹¹ so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin, and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹² Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;

¹³ neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;

¹⁴ for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!
