1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
1¶ Ha, kia pehea he korero ma tatou? Kia mau tonu oti tatou ki te hara, kia hua ai te aroha noa?
2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
2Kahore rapea. Ko tatou kua whakatupapakutia nei ki te hara, me pehea tatou e noho tonu atu ai ano i roto i taua hara?
3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
3Kahore ianei koutou i mohio, ko tatou kua iriiria nei ki roto ki a Karaiti Ihu, kua iriiria ki roto ki tona matenga?
4Therefore 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.
4Na kua tanumia ngatahitia tatou me ia ki roto ki te matenga, he mea na te iriiri: kia rite ai ki a te Karaiti i whakaarahia ake nei i te hunga mate e te kororia o te Matua, waihoki ko tatou kia haere i roto i te houtanga o te ora.
5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
5Ki te mea hoki kua honoa tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona matenga, ka honoa ano tatou ki a ia i runga i te ahua o tona aranga:
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
6E mohio ana hoki ki tenei, kua ripekatia ngatahitia me ia to tatou tangata tawhito, kia hemo ai te tinana o te hara, kia mutu ai to tatou ponongatanga ki te hara;
7For he that is dead is freed from sin.
7Ko te mea hoki kua mate, kua mawheto ia i te hara.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
8Ki te mea kua mate tahi tatou ko te Karaiti, e whakapono ana tatou e ora tahi ano tatou me ia:
9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
9E matau ana hoki tatou, ka ara nei a te Karaiti i te hunga mate, heoi ano ona matenga; kahore he kingitanga o te mate ki a ia a mua tonu atu.
10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
10Ko tona matenga hoki i mate ai ia, he mate kotahi ki te hara: ko tona oranga ia, he ora ki te Atua.
11Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
11Waihoki mahara iho ki a koutou, kua whakatupapakutia koutou ki te hara, e ora ana ia ki te Atua, i roto i a Ihu Karaiti.
12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
12Mo konei ra aua te hara e kingi i roto i to koutou tinana mate, e ngohengohe ai koutou ki ta nga hiahia poke o taua tinana nei:
13Neither 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.
13Kaua hoki e tukua o koutou wahi ki te hara hei kaimahi i te he: engari tukua atu koutou ki te Atua, he hunga kua ora i roto i te hunga mate, me o koutou wahi hoki hei kaimahi i te tika ki te Atua.
14For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
14E kore hoki te hara e waiho hei rangatira mo koutou: ehara i te mea kei raro koutou i te ture, engari kei raro ke i te aroha noa.
15What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
15He aha koia? kia hara oti tatou, no te mea ehara tatou i te ture, engari no te aroha noa? Kahore rapea.
16Know 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?
16Kahore oti koutou i matau, ki te tuku koutou i a koutou ki tetahi hei pononga, he pononga koutou na tera kua ngohengohe na koutou ki tana; na te hara ranei, a mate iho, na te ngohengohe ranei, a tika ake?
17But 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.
17Ko tenei me whakawhetai ki te Atua, ahakoa he pononga koutou na te hara i mua, kua meinga o koutou ngakau kia ngohengohe ki te ako i whakaakona ai koutou;
18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
18Na ka atea nei koutou i te hara, ka meinga koutou he pononga na te tika.
19I 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.
19He kupu tangata tenei naku, na te ngoikore o to koutou kikokiko: na i tukua ra o koutou wahi hei pononga ma te poke, ma te tutu, ki te mahi tutu; waihoki me tuku o koutou wahi aianei hei pononga ma te tika, puta ake he tapu.
20For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
20I a koutou hoki e pononga ana ki te hara, e atea ana koutou i te tika.
21What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
21Na i taua wa he aha nga hua i a koutou o nga mea e whakama na koutou inaianei? he mate hoki te mutunga o aua mea.
22But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
22Tena ko tenei ka atea nei koutou i te hara, a ka meinga hei pononga ma te Atua, ko nga hua ki a koutou he tapu, a, ko te tukunga iho he ora tonu.
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
23Ko nga utu hoki o te hara he mate; ko ta te Atua ia i homai ai he ora tonu, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, i to tatou Ariki.
