Romans 6 Translation

Front 1

1 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν; ἐπιμένωμεν [a] τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, ἵνα ἡ χάρις πλεονάσῃ;

Back 1

What then will we say? Shall we continue [a] in sin, in order that grace might abound?

Front 2

2 μὴ γένοιτο· οἵτινες [a] ἀπεθάνομεν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ [b], πῶς ἔτι ζήσομεν [c] ἐν αὐτῇ;

Back 2

By no means; we who [a] have died to sin [b], how will we live [c] in it still?

Front 3

3 ἢ ἀγνοεῖτε ὅτι ὅσοι [a] ἐβαπτίσθημεν εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν [b] εἰς τὸν θάνατον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθημεν;

Back 3

or are you ignorant that all [a] we who were baptised into Christ Jesus [b] were baptised into his death?

Front 4

4 συνετάφημεν [a] οὖν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ βαπτίσματος εἰς τὸν [b] θάνατον, ἵνα ὥσπερ ἠγέρθη Χριστὸς ἐκ νεκρῶν [c] διὰ τῆς δόξης τοῦ πατρός, οὕτως καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐν καινότητι ζωῆς περιπατήσωμεν.

Back 4

So then we were buried together with [a] him through baptism into death [b], in order that just as Christ was raised from [the] [c] dead through the glory of the Father, so also we might walk in newness of life.

Front 5

5 εἰ γὰρ σύμφυτοι [a] γεγόναμεν τῷ ὁμοιώματι τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ καὶ [b] τῆς ἀναστάσεως ἐσόμεθα [c]·

Back 5

For if we have been identified [a] with the likeness of his death, we shall certainly also [b] [be identified with the likeness] [c] of his resurrection;

Front 6

6 τοῦτο γινώσκοντες, ὅτι ὁ παλαιὸς ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος [a] συνεσταυρώθη, ἵνα καταργηθῇ [b] τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας, τοῦ μηκέτι δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ [c]·

Back 6

knowing this, that our old man was crucified [with him], in order that the body of sin might be made ineffective, we are no longer to be enslaved to sin [c];

Front 7

7 ὁ γὰρ ἀποθανὼν δεδικαίωται [a] ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας.

Back 7

for the one who has died has been declared free [a] from sin.

Front 8

8 εἰ δὲ ἀπεθάνομεν σὺν Χριστῷ, πιστεύομεν ὅτι καὶ συζήσομεν [a] αὐτῷ·

Back 8

If we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live together [a] with him;

Front 9

9 εἰδότες ὅτι Χριστὸς ἐγερθεὶς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὐκέτι ἀποθνῄσκει, θάνατος αὐτοῦ οὐκέτι κυριεύει.

Back 9

knowing that Christ was raised from [the] dead, [so] he dies no longer, [and] death no longer masters him.

Front 10

10 ὃ [a] γὰρ ἀπέθανεν, τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀπέθανεν ἐφάπαξ· ὃ δὲ ζῇ, ζῇ τῷ θεῷ.

Back 10

for the death [a] he died, he died to sin once and for all; the life he lives, he lives to God.

Front 11

11 οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς λογίζεσθε [a/b] ἑαυτοὺς [εἶναι] [c] νεκροὺς μὲν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ζῶντας δὲ τῷ θεῷ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.

Back 11

So you also reckon [a/b] yourselves on the one hand [to be] [c] dead to sin, but on the other hand living to God in Christ Jesus.

Front 12

12 Μὴ οὖν βασιλευέτω ἡ ἁμαρτία ἐν τῷ θνητῷ ὑμῶν σώματι εἰς [a] τὸ ὑπακούειν ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις αὐτοῦ [b],

Back 12

Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body by [a] obeying its desires [b],

Front 13

13 μηδὲ παριστάνετε [a] τὰ μέλη [b] ὑμῶν ὅπλα [c] ἀδικίας τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, ἀλλὰ παραστήσατε ἑαυτοὺς τῷ θεῷ ὡσεὶ ἐκ νεκρῶν ζῶντας καὶ τὰ μέλη ὑμῶν ὅπλα δικαιοσύνης τῷ θεῷ·

Back 13

nor continue to yield [a] your members [b] to sin as tools [c] of unrighteousness, but yield yourselves to God as alive from [the] dead and your members to God as tools of righteousness;

Front 14

14 ἁμαρτία γὰρ ὑμῶν οὐ κυριεύσει, οὐ γάρ ἐστε ὑπὸ νόμον ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ χάριν.

Back 14

for your sin will not master you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Front 15

15 Τί οὖν; ἁμαρτήσωμεν [a] ὅτι οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑπὸ νόμον ἀλλὰ ὑπὸ χάριν; μὴ γένοιτο.

Back 15

What then? Shall we sin [a] because we are not under law but under grace? By no means.

Front 16

16 [a] οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ᾧ [b] παριστάνετε ἑαυτοὺς δούλους εἰς ὑπακοήν, δοῦλοί ἐστε ᾧ ὑπακούετε, ἤτοι ἁμαρτίας εἰς [c] θάνατον ἢ ὑπακοῆς εἰς δικαιοσύνην;

Back 16

[a] Do you not know that to whatever [b] you yield yourselves as slaves to obey, you are slaves to that which you obey, whether sin which leads to [c] death or obedience which leads to righteousness?

Front 17

17 χάρις δὲ τῷ θεῷ ὅτι ἦτε δοῦλοι τῆς ἁμαρτίας [a] ὑπηκούσατε δὲ ἐκ καρδίας εἰς ὃν παρεδόθητε τύπον [b] διδαχῆς,

Back 17

But thanks be to God because [while] you were slaves to sin, [a] you obeyed from the heart the pattern [b] of teaching to which you were given over,

Front 18

18 ἐλευθερωθέντες δὲ [a] ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ἐδουλώθητε τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ·

Back 18

and [a] having been freed from sin you were enslaved to righteousness;

Front 19

19 ἀνθρώπινον λέγω διὰ τὴν ἀσθένειαν τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν. ὥσπερ γὰρ παρεστήσατε [a] τὰ μέλη ὑμῶν δοῦλα [b] τῇ ἀκαθαρσίᾳ καὶ τῇ ἀνομίᾳ εἰς τὴν ἀνομίαν [c], οὕτως νῦν παραστήσατε [a] τὰ μέλη ὑμῶν δοῦλα τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ εἰς ἁγιασμόν.

Back 19

I am speaking humanly because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you yielded your enslaved members to uncleanness and lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your enslaved members to righteousness unto holiness.

Front 20

20 ὅτε γὰρ δοῦλοι ἦτε τῆς ἁμαρτίας, ἐλεύθεροι ἦτε τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ.

Back 20

For when you were slaves of sin, you were ‘free’ with respect to righteousness.

Front 21

21 τίνα οὖν καρπὸν εἴχετε τότε; [a] ἐφ’ οἷς νῦν ἐπαισχύνεσθε, τὸ γὰρ τέλος ἐκείνων θάνατος.

Back 21

Consequently what fruit were you having then? [a] Things of which you are now ashamed, for the end of these things is death.

Front 22

22 νυνὶ δέ, ἐλευθερωθέντες [a] ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας δουλωθέντες [a] δὲ τῷ θεῷ, ἔχετε τὸν καρπὸν ὑμῶν [b] εἰς ἁγιασμόν, τὸ δὲ τέλος ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

Back 22

But now, having been freed [a] from sin and having been enslaved [a] to God, you have your [b] fruit unto holiness, and the end is eternal life.

Front 23

23 τὰ γὰρ ὀψώνια τῆς ἁμαρτίας θάνατος, τὸ δὲ χάρισμα τοῦ θεοῦ ζωὴ αἰώνιος ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.

Back 23

For the pay-back [a] of sin is death, but the free-gift [b] of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
