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

KJVWhat^G5101 shall we say^G2046^(G5692) then^G3767? Shall we continue^G1961^(G5692) in sin^G266, that^G2443 grace^G5485 may abound^G4121^(G5661)?

² May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

KJVGod forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636). How^G4459 shall we, that^G3748 are dead^G599^(G5627) to sin^G266, live^G2198^(G5692) any longer^G2089 therein^G1722^G846?

³ Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

KJV^G2228 Know ye not^G50^(G5719), that so^G3754 many of us^G3745 as were baptized^G907^(G5681) into^G1519 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 were baptized^G907^(G5681) into^G1519 his^G846 death^G2288?

⁴ We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

KJVTherefore^G3767 we are buried with^G4916^(G5648) him^G846 by^G1223 baptism^G908 into^G1519 death^G2288: that^G2443 like as^G5618 Christ^G5547 was raised up^G1453^(G5681) from^G1537 the dead^G3498 by^G1223 the glory^G1391 of the Father^G3962, even so^G3779 we^G2249 also^G2532 should walk^G4043^(G5661) in^G1722 newness^G2538 of life^G2222.

⁵ For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 we have been^G1096^(G5754) planted together^G4854 in the likeness^G3667 of his^G846 death^G2288, we shall be^G2071^(G5704) also^G235^G2532 in the likeness of his resurrection^G386:

⁶ 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.

KJVKnowing^G1097^(G5723) this^G5124, that^G3754 our^G2257 old^G3820 man^G444 is crucified with^G4957^(G5681) him, that^G2443 the body^G4983 of sin^G266 might be destroyed^G2673^(G5686), that henceforth^G3371 we^G2248 should^G1398 not^G3371 serve^G1398^(G5721) sin^G266.

⁷ For he who has died has been freed from sin.

KJVFor^G1063 he that is dead^G599^(G5631) is freed^G1344^(G5769) from^G575 sin^G266.

⁸ But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him,

KJVNow^G1161 if^G1487 we be dead^G599^(G5627) with^G4862 Christ^G5547, we believe^G4100^(G5719) that^G3754 we shall^G4800 also^G2532 live^G4800^(G5692) with him^G846:

⁹ knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him!

KJVKnowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 Christ^G5547 being raised^G1453^(G5685) from^G1537 the dead^G3498 dieth^G599^(G5719) no more^G3765; death^G2288 hath^G2961 no more^G3765 dominion over^G2961^(G5719) him^G846.

¹⁰ For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.

KJVFor^G3739^G1063 in that he died^G599^(G5627), he died^G599^(G5627) unto sin^G266 once^G2178: but^G1161 in that^G3739 he liveth^G2198^(G5719), he liveth^G2198^(G5719) unto God^G2316.

¹¹ Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

KJVLikewise^G3779 reckon^G3049^(G5737) ye^G5210 also^G2532 yourselves^G1438 to be^G1511^(G5750) dead^G3498 indeed^G3303 unto sin^G266, but^G1161 alive^G2198^(G5723) unto God^G2316 through^G1722 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 Lord^G2962.

¹² Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

KJVLet^G936 not^G3361 sin^G266 therefore^G3767 reign^G936^(G5720) in^G1722 your^G5216 mortal^G2349 body^G4983, that^G1519 ye should obey^G5219^(G5721) it^G846 in^G1722 the lusts^G1939 thereof^G846.

¹³ Also, do not 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.

KJVNeither^G3366 yield ye^G3936^(G5720) your^G5216 members^G3196 as instruments^G3696 of unrighteousness^G93 unto sin^G266: but^G235 yield^G3936^(G5657) yourselves^G1438 unto God^G2316, as^G5613 those that are alive^G2198^(G5723) from^G1537 the dead^G3498, and^G2532 your^G5216 members^G3196 as instruments^G3696 of righteousness^G1343 unto God^G2316.

¹⁴ For sin will not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace.

KJVFor^G1063 sin^G266 shall^G2961 not^G3756 have dominion over^G2961^(G5692) you^G5216: for^G1063 ye are^G2075^(G5748) not^G3756 under^G5259 the law^G3551, but^G235 under^G5259 grace^G5485.

¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

KJVWhat^G5101 then^G3767? shall we sin^G264^(G5692), because^G3754 we are^G2070^(G5748) not^G3756 under^G5259 the law^G3551, but^G235 under^G5259 grace^G5485? God forbid^G3361^G1096^(G5636).

¹⁶ Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

KJVKnow ye^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756, that^G3754 to whom^G3739 ye yield^G3936^(G5719) yourselves^G1438 servants^G1401 to^G1519 obey^G5218, his servants^G1401 ye are^G2075^(G5748) to whom^G3739 ye obey^G5219^(G5719); whether^G2273 of sin^G266 unto^G1519 death^G2288, or^G2228 of obedience^G5218 unto^G1519 righteousness^G1343?

¹⁷ But thanks be to God that, whereas you were bondservants of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were delivered.

KJVBut^G1161 God^G2316 be thanked^G5485, that^G3754 ye were^G2258^(G5713) the servants^G1401 of sin^G266, but^G1161 ye have obeyed^G5219^(G5656) from^G1537 the heart^G2588 that form^G5179 of doctrine^G1322 which^G1519^G3739 was delivered you^G3860^(G5681).

¹⁸ Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.

KJVBeing^G1659 then^G1161 made free^G1659^(G5685) from^G575 sin^G266, ye became the servants^G1402^(G5681) of righteousness^G1343.

¹⁹ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh; for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

KJVI speak^G3004^(G5719) after the manner of men^G442 because^G1223 of the infirmity^G769 of your^G5216 flesh^G4561: for^G1063 as^G5618 ye have yielded^G3936^(G5656) your^G5216 members^G3196 servants^G1401 to uncleanness^G167 and^G2532 to iniquity^G458 unto^G1519 iniquity^G458; even so^G3779 now^G3568 yield^G3936^(G5657) your^G5216 members^G3196 servants^G1401 to righteousness^G1343 unto^G1519 holiness^G38.

²⁰ For when you were servants of sin, you were free from righteousness.

KJVFor^G1063 when^G3753 ye were^G2258^(G5713) the servants^G1401 of sin^G266, ye were^G2258^(G5713) free^G1658 from righteousness^G1343.

²¹ What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

KJVWhat^G5101^G3767 fruit^G2590 had ye^G2192^(G5707) then^G5119 in^G1909 those things whereof^G3739 ye are^G1870 now^G3568 ashamed^G1870^(G5736)? for^G1063 the end^G5056 of those things^G1565 is death^G2288.

²² But now, being made free from sin and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification and the result of eternal life.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3570 being made free^G1659^(G5685) from^G575 sin^G266, and^G1161 become servants^G1402^(G5685) to God^G2316, ye have^G2192^(G5719) your^G5216 fruit^G2590 unto^G1519 holiness^G38, and^G1161 the end^G5056 everlasting^G166 life^G2222.

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

KJVFor^G1063 the wages^G3800 of sin^G266 is death^G2288; but^G1161 the gift^G5486 of God^G2316 is eternal^G166 life^G2222 through^G1722 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 Lord^G2962.

WEB·Romans 5

¹Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

KJVTherefore^G3767 being justified^G1344^(G5685) by^G1537 faith^G4102, we have^G2192^(G5719) peace^G1515 with^G4314 God^G2316 through^G1223 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

² through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

KJVBy^G1223 whom^G3739 also^G2532 we have^G2192^(G5758) access^G4318 by faith^G4102 into^G1519 this^G5026 grace^G5485 wherein^G1722^G3739 we stand^G2476^(G5758), and^G2532 rejoice^G2744^(G5736) in^G1909 hope^G1680 of the glory^G1391 of God^G2316.

³ Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

KJVAnd^G1161 not^G3756 only^G3440 so, but^G235 we glory^G2744^(G5736) in^G1722 tribulations^G2347 also^G2532: knowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 tribulation^G2347 worketh^G2716^(G5736) patience^G5281;

⁴ and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;

KJVAnd^G1161 patience^G5281, experience^G1382; and^G1161 experience^G1382, hope^G1680:

⁵ and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

KJVAnd^G1161 hope^G1680 maketh^G2617 not^G3756 ashamed^G2617^(G5719); because^G3754 the love^G26 of God^G2316 is shed abroad^G1632^(G5769) in^G1722 our^G2257 hearts^G2588 by^G1223 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 which^G3588 is given^G1325^(G5685) unto us^G2254.

⁶ For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

KJVFor^G1063 when we^G2257 were^G5607^(G5752) yet^G2089 without strength^G772, in due^G2596 time^G2540 Christ^G5547 died^G599^(G5627) for^G5228 the ungodly^G765.

⁷ For one will hardly die for a righteous man. Yet perhaps for a good person someone would even dare to die.

KJVFor^G1063 scarcely^G3433 for^G5228 a righteous man^G1342 will^G599 one^G5100 die^G599^(G5695): yet^G1063 peradventure^G5029 for^G5228 a good man^G18 some^G5100 would^G5111 even^G2532 dare^G5111^(G5719) to die^G599^(G5629).

⁸ But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

KJVBut^G1161 God^G2316 commendeth^G4921^(G5719) his^G1438 love^G26 toward^G1519 us^G2248, in that^G3754, while we^G2257 were^G5607^(G5752) yet^G2089 sinners^G268, Christ^G5547 died^G599^(G5627) for^G5228 us^G2257.

⁹ Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we will be saved from God’s wrath through him.

KJVMuch^G4183 more^G3123 then^G3767, being^G1344 now^G3568 justified^G1344^(G5685) by^G1722 his^G846 blood^G129, we shall be saved^G4982^(G5701) from^G575 wrath^G3709 through^G1223 him^G846.

¹⁰ For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we will be saved by his life.

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487, when we were^G5607^(G5752) enemies^G2190, we were reconciled^G2644^(G5648) to God^G2316 by^G1223 the death^G2288 of his^G846 Son^G5207, much^G4183 more^G3123, being reconciled^G2644^(G5651), we shall be saved^G4982^(G5701) by^G1722 his^G846 life^G2222.

¹¹ Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

KJVAnd^G1161 not^G3756 only^G3440 so, but^G235 we also^G2532 joy^G2744^(G5740) in^G1722 God^G2316 through^G1223 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, by^G1223 whom^G3739 we have^G2983 now^G3568 received^G2983^(G5627) the atonement^G2643.

¹² Therefore, as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so death passed to all men because all sinned.

KJVWherefore^G1223^G5124, as^G5618 by^G1223 one^G1520 man^G444 sin^G266 entered^G1525^(G5627) into^G1519 the world^G2889, and^G2532 death^G2288 by^G1223 sin^G266; and^G2532 so^G3779 death^G2288 passed^G1330^(G5627) upon^G1519 all^G3956 men^G444, for^G1909 that^G3739 all^G3956 have sinned^G264^(G5627):

¹³ For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.

KJV(For^G1063 until^G891 the law^G3551 sin^G266 was^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 the world^G2889: but^G1161 sin^G266 is^G1677 not^G3756 imputed^G1677^(G5743) when there is^G5607^(G5752) no^G3361 law^G3551.

¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

KJVNevertheless^G235 death^G2288 reigned^G936^(G5656) from^G575 Adam^G76 to^G3360 Moses^G3475, even^G2532 over^G1909 them that had^G264 not^G3361 sinned^G264^(G5660) after^G1909 the similitude^G3667 of Adam's^G76 transgression^G3847, who^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748) the figure^G5179 of him that was to come^G3195^(G5723).

¹⁵ But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many.

KJVBut^G235 not^G3756 as^G5613 the offence^G3900, so^G3779 also^G2532 is the free gift^G5486. For^G1063 if^G1487 through the offence^G3900 of one^G1520 many^G4183 be dead^G599^(G5627), much^G4183 more^G3123 the grace^G5485 of God^G2316, and^G2532 the gift^G1431 by^G1722 grace^G5485, which is^G3588 by one^G1520 man^G444, Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, hath abounded^G4052^(G5656) unto^G1519 many^G4183.

¹⁶ The gift is not as through one who sinned; for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift followed many trespasses to justification.

KJVAnd^G2532 not^G3756 as^G5613 it was by^G1223 one^G1520 that sinned^G264^(G5660), so is the gift^G1434: for^G1063^G3303 the judgment^G2917 was by^G1537 one^G1520 to^G1519 condemnation^G2631, but^G1161 the free gift^G5486 is of^G1537 many^G4183 offences^G3900 unto^G1519 justification^G1345.

¹⁷ 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.

KJVFor^G1063 if^G1487 by one man's^G1520 offence^G3900 death^G2288 reigned^G936^(G5656) by^G1223 one^G1520; much^G4183 more^G3123 they which receive^G2983^(G5723) abundance^G4050 of grace^G5485 and^G2532 of the gift^G1431 of righteousness^G1343 shall reign^G936^(G5692) in^G1722 life^G2222 by^G1223 one^G1520, Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.)

¹⁸ So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

KJVTherefore^G686^G3767 as^G5613 by^G1223 the offence^G3900 of one^G1520 judgment came upon^G1519 all^G3956 men^G444 to^G1519 condemnation^G2631; even^G2532 so^G3779 by^G1223 the righteousness^G1345 of one^G1520 the free gift came upon^G1519 all^G3956 men^G444 unto^G1519 justification^G1347 of life^G2222.

¹⁹ 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.

KJVFor^G1063 as^G5618 by^G1223 one^G1520 man's^G444 disobedience^G3876 many^G4183 were made^G2525^(G5681) sinners^G268, so^G3779^G2532 by^G1223 the obedience^G5218 of one^G1520 shall^G2525 many^G4183 be made^G2525^(G5701) righteous^G1342.

²⁰ The law came in that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace abounded more exceedingly,

KJVMoreover^G1161 the law^G3551 entered^G3922^(G5627), that^G2443 the offence^G3900 might abound^G4121^(G5661). But^G1161 where^G3757 sin^G266 abounded^G4121^(G5656), grace^G5485 did much more abound^G5248^(G5656):

²¹ that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

KJVThat^G2443 as^G5618 sin^G266 hath reigned^G936^(G5656) unto^G1722 death^G2288, even^G2532 so^G3779 might^G936 grace^G5485 reign^G936^(G5661) through^G1223 righteousness^G1343 unto^G1519 eternal^G166 life^G2222 by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 our^G2257 Lord^G2962.
