          DASV: Romans 6    

1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, so that
grace may abound?
2 Certainly not! Since we have died to sin, how can we still
live in it?
3 Or do you not know that as many of us who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we were buried with him through baptism into death,
so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory
of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his
death, we will also be united in the likeness of his resurrection.
6 We know this, that our old self was crucified with him, so that
the body of sin might be destroyed, so that we would no longer
be slaves to sin.
7 For the one who has died is freed from sin.
8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live
with him.
9 We know that since Christ has been raised from the dead, never to
die again, death has no more mastery over him.
10 For the death he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life
he lives, he lives to God.
11 So you too consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to
God in Christ Jesus.
12 Therefore do not let sin to reign in your mortal body, so that
you obey its lusts,
13 and do not present the members of your body to sin as instruments
of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God, as those alive
from the dead, and your members to God as instruments
of righteousness.
14 For sin will not have mastery over you; since you are not under
law, but under grace.

15 What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under
grace? Certainly not!
16 Do you not realize that if you present yourselves to someone as
slaves to obey, you are slaves to whomever you obey, either as a
slave of sin to death, or as a slave of obedience which results
in righteousness?
17 But thank God, that although you were slaves of sin, you became
obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were
entrusted.
18 Then being set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
19 I speak in human terms because of the limits of your flesh.
For just as you presented your body members as slaves to impurity
and to increasing lawlessness, even so now present your members
as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to
righteousness.
21 So what benefit did you get from those things of which you
are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 But now you are free from sin and have become slaves of God,
you have the benefit of holiness and the end result is eternal
life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
