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

¹So te mothas? Beshas ando bezex, saxke te bariol o lashimos le Devlesko?

²Far be the thought. We who have died to sin, how shall we still live in it?

²Nichi, vov si, ame kai muliam le bezexeske sar sai mai traiisaras ando bezex?

³Are you ignorant that we, as many as have been baptised unto Christ Jesus, have been baptised unto his death?

³Pate, chi zhanen, ke ame savorhe sama bolde ando Jesus Kristo, samas bolde ande leski martia?

⁴We have been buried therefore with him by baptism unto death, in order that, even as Christ has been raised up from among [the] dead by the glory of the Father, so *we* also should walk in newness of life.

⁴Samas vusharade lesa ando bolimos leska martiako, saxke sar o Kristo zhuvindisailo mashkar le mule katar o barimos le Dadesko, sakadia iame phiras andek nevo traio.

⁵For if we are become identified with [him] in the likeness of his death, so also we shall be of [his] resurrection;

⁵Ke te samas chidine andek than lesa ande iek martia, avasa, saikfialo chidine lesa andek zhuvindimos saikfialo ke sar lesko.

⁶knowing this, that our old man has been crucified with [him], that the body of sin might be annulled, that we should no longer serve sin.

⁶Ai zhanas mishto, ke amaro phurano manush sas karfosardo le Kristosa po trushul, saxke amaro stato o bezexalo te avel mudardo, ai te na mai avas le slugi le bezexeske.

⁷For he that has died is justified from sin.

⁷Ke kodo kai mulo, o bezex ma nai les putiera.

⁸Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him,

⁸Te muliam le Kristosa, ame pachas ame ke traiisarasa lesa.

⁹knowing that Christ having been raised up from among [the] dead dies no more: death has dominion over him no more.

⁹Zhanas ke o Kristo zhuvindisailo andal mule, ai nashti mai merel; ke e martia ma nai la putiera pe leste.

¹⁰For in that he has died, he has died to sin once for all; but in that he lives, he lives to God.

¹⁰Kana mulo, mulo le bezexeske iek data savorhenge; numa ando traio kai si akana lesko, traiila le Devleske.

¹¹So also *ye*, reckon yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹¹Ai vi tume jinen tume sar mule le bezexeske, ai zhuvindin le Devleske andek than le Jesus Kristosa.

¹²Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body to obey its lusts.

¹²No o bezex chi mai trobul te poronchil pe tumaro stato , kai sai merel te kerel tuke so si drago le statosko.

¹³Neither yield your members instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but yield yourselves to God as alive from among [the] dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

¹³Na mai thon kanchi anda tumaro stato te kerel buchi le bezexeske sar strumento te kerel o nasulimos. Numa den tume le Devleske, sar manush kai sas andine katar e martia ka traio, ai den tume antrego te keren leski buchi sar strumenturia te keren so si vorta.

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

¹⁴Ke o bezex nashti mai poronchil pe tumende; ke chi traiin tela zakono, numa tela lashimos le Devlesko.

¹⁵What then? should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Far be the thought.

¹⁵Apo? Si te keras bezexa, ke chi sam tela zakono, numa tela lashimos le Devlesko?

¹⁶Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to him whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

¹⁶Nichi, Vov si! Zhanen mishto te thona tume te keren buchi vari kaske ai te pachan lesko mui, tume kerdion le slugi kodole gazdaski kai keren leste buchi, vai le bezexeske, kai angerel kai martia, vai te pachan o mui, ai kodia angerel andek traio vorta angla Del.

¹⁷But thanks [be] to God, that ye were bondmen of sin, but have obeyed from the heart the form of teaching into which ye were instructed.

¹⁷Numa luvudime te avel O Del! Tume kai sanas mai anglal slugi le bezexeske; pachaian tume akana sa tumare ilesa ka zakono kai ande kodo sanas sicharde.

¹⁸Now, having got your freedom from sin, ye have become bondmen to righteousness.

¹⁸Skepisarde san anda bezex, ai akana san le slugi le chache zakonosko.

¹⁹I speak humanly on account of the weakness of your flesh. For even as ye have yielded your members in bondage to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now yield your members in bondage to righteousness unto holiness.

¹⁹Dav duma kadia sar iek manush ke pala kovlimos tumare statosko. Sakadia kai dianas tumaro stato sar sluga le bi vuzhimaske ai le nasulimaske te traiin ande bezex; sakadia akana thon tume antrego sar slugi te keren buchi le chache zakonoske, ai te traiin sar vuzhe.

²⁰For when ye were bondmen of sin ye were free from righteousness.

²⁰Kana sanas le slugi le bezexeske, chi poronchilas pe tumende o chachimos.

²¹What fruit therefore had ye *then* in the things of which ye are *now* ashamed? for the end of *them* [is] death.

²¹So nirinas kai kerenas kasavendar dieli kai akana lazhav tumenge? Kodola dieli angerenas ka martia.

²²But *now*, having got your freedom from sin, and having become bondmen to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end eternal life.

²²Numa akana skepime san katar o bezex, ai aven slugi le Devleske te keren leski buchi; akana nirin kai san phirade andek traio Swunto, ai te avel tume ando gor o traio kai chi mai getolpe.

²³For the wages of sin [is] death; but the act of favour of God, eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²³Ke e pochin le bezexeski si e martia; numa e podarka le Devleski kai si dini ivia si o traio kai chi mai getolpe le Jesus Kristosa amaro Del.
