or sin
to abound: but that it so happened through man's perversity, taking
occasion of sinning more, from the prohibition of sin.

5:21. That as sin hath reigned to death: so also grace might reign by
justice unto life everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans Chapter 6

The Christian must die to sin and live to God.

6:1. What shall we say, then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may
abound?

6:2. God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any
longer therein?

6:3. Know you not that all we who are baptized in Christ Jesus are
baptized in his death?

6:4. For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as
Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may
walk in newness of life.

6:5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

6:6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body
of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer.

6:11. So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto
God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

6:12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, so as to obey the
lusts thereof.

6:13. 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.

6:14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under
the law, but under grace.

6:15. What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but
under grace? God forbid!

6:16. Know you not that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey,

6:17. But thanks be to God, that you wer
