6:1 这样，怎吗说呢。我们可以仍在罪中，叫恩典显多吗。

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

 

6:2 断乎不可。我们在罪上死了的人，岂可仍在罪中活着呢。

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

 

6:3 岂不知我们这受洗归入基督耶稣的人，是受洗归入他的死吗。

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

 

6:4 所已，我们藉着洗礼归入死，和他一同埋葬，原是叫我们一举一动有新生的样式，像基督藉着父的荣耀从死里复活一样。

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.

 

6:5 我们若在他死的形状上与他联合，也要在他复活的形状上与他联合。

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 因为知道我们的旧人和他同定十字架，使罪身灭绝，叫我们不再作罪的奴仆。

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.

 

6:7 因为已死的人，是脱离了罪。

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

 

6:8 我们若是与基督同死，就信必与他同活。

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

 

6:9 因为知道基督既从死里复活，就不再死，死也不再作他的主了。

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

 

6:10 他死是向罪死了，只有一次。他活是向神活着。

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

 

6:11 这样，你们向罪也当看自己是死的。向神在基督耶稣里却当看自己是活的。

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

6:12 所以不要容罪在你们必死的身上作王，使你们顺从身子的私欲。

Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

 

6:13 也不要将你们的肢体献给罪作不义的器具。倒要像从死里复活的人，将自己献给神。并将肢体作义的器具献给神。

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.

 

6:14 罪必不能作你们的主。因为你们不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。

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

 

6:15 这却怎吗样呢。我们在恩典之下，不在律法之下，就可以犯罪吗。断乎不可。

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

 

6:16 岂不晓得你们献上自己作奴仆，顺从谁，就作谁的奴仆吗。或作罪的奴仆，以至于死。或作顺命的奴仆，以至成义。

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?

 

6:17 感谢神，因为你们从前虽然作罪的奴仆，现今却从心里顺服了所传给你们道理的模范。

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.

 

6:18 你们既从罪里得了释放，就作了义的奴仆。

Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.

 

6:19 我因你们肉体的软弱，就照人的常话对你们说，你们从前怎样将肢体献给不洁不法作奴仆，以至于不法。现今也要照样将肢体献给义作奴仆，以至于成圣。

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.

 

6:20 因为你们作罪的奴仆的时候，就不被义约束了。

For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

 

6:21 你们现今所看为羞耻的事，当日有什么果子呢。那些事的结局就是死。

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

 

6:22 但现今你们既从罪里得了释放，作了神的奴仆，就有成圣的果子，那结局就是永生。

But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

 

6:23 因为罪的工价乃是死。惟有神的恩赐，在我们的主基督耶稣里乃是永生。

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
