and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ,
abound to the many.
005:016 The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment
came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many
trespasses to justification.
005:017 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one;
so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through
the one, Jesus Christ.
005:018 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned;
even so through one act of righteousness, all men were
justified to life.
005:019 For as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners,
even so through the obedience of the one, many will
be made righteous.
005:020 The law came in besides, that the trespass might abound;
but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly;
005:021 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through
righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
006:001 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin,
that grace may abound?
006:002 May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live
in it any longer?
006:003 Or don't you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus
were baptized into his death?
006:004 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death,
that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory
of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
006:005 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death,
we will also be part of his resurrection;
006:006 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we
would no longer be in bondage to sin.
006:007 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
006:008 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also
live with him;
006:009 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more.
Death no more has dominion over him!
006:010 For the death that he died, he died to sin one time;
but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
006:011 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive
to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
006:012 Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you
should obey it in its lusts.
006:013 Neither 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.
006:014 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law,
but under grace.
006:015 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law,
but under grace? May it never be!
006:016 Don't you know that to whom you present yourselves as
