after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
[15] But not as
the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the
grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
[16]
And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but
the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
[17] For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much
more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one,
Jesus Christ.)
[18] Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even
so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
[19] For as by
one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made
righteous.
[20] Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace
did much more abound:
[21] That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom.6
[1] What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
[2] God forbid. How shall
we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
[3] Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized
into 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 dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should
walk in newness of life.
[5] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall
be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
[6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that
the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[7] For he that is dead is
freed from sin.
[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.
[16] Know ye not, that to whom
ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?
[17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye
have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
[18] Being then made free
from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
[19] I speak after the manner of men because of
the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity
unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
[20] For when
ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
[21] What fruit had ye then in those things
whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
[22] But now being made free from
sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
[23] For
the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rom.7
[1] Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over
a man as long as he liveth?
[2] For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband
so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
[3] So then
if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her
husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another
man.
[4] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should
be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto
God.
[5] For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members
to bring forth fruit unto death.
[6] But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we
were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
[7] What shall
