¹Kion do ni diru? CXu ni restu en peko, por ke graco abundu?

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

²Nepre ne! CXu ni, kiuj mortis al peko, ankoraux vivus en gxi?

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

³CXu vi ne scias, ke ni cxiuj, kiuj baptigxis al Jesuo Kristo, baptigxis al lia morto?

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

⁴Ni do estas entombigitaj kun li per bapto al morto, por ke, kiel Kristo estas levita el la mortintoj per la gloro de la Patro, tiel same ni ankaux iradu en noveco de vivo.

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

⁵CXar se ni jam kunigxis al la simileco de lia morto, ni tiel same kunigxos al la simileco de lia relevigxo,

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

⁶sciante, ke nia malnova homo estas kun li krucumita, por ke la korpo de peko estu neniigita, por ke ni jam ne estu sklavoj al peko;

⁶knowing 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.

⁷cxar tiu, kiu mortis, estas pravigita pri peko.

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

⁸Sed se ni mortis kun Kristo, ni kredas, ke ni ankaux vivos kun li;

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

⁹sciante, ke Kristo, levite el la mortintoj, ne plu mortas; la morto ne plu lin regas.

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

¹⁰CXar mortante, li mortis al peko unufoje por cxiam; sed vivante, li vivas al Dio.

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

¹¹Tial ankaux vi vin kalkulu mortintoj al peko, sed vivantoj al Dio en Kristo Jesuo.

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

¹²Tial peko ne regxu en via morta korpo tiel, ke vi obeu al gxiaj deziroj;

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

¹³ankaux ne prezentu viajn membrojn iloj de maljusteco al peko, sed prezentu vin al Dio vivantoj el la mortintoj, kaj viajn membrojn iloj de justeco por Dio.

¹³Neither 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.

¹⁴CXar peko ne regos vin, cxar vi estas ne sub la legxo, sed sub graco.

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

¹⁵Kio do? cxu ni peku, pro tio, ke ni estas ne sub legxo, sed sub graco? Nepre ne!

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

¹⁶CXu vi ne scias, ke kiam vi vin prezentas, kiel sklavoj al iu por obeado, vi estas sklavoj de tiu, al kiu vi obeas, cxu de peko por morto, aux de obeemeco por justeco?

¹⁶Don’t you know that to whom you present yourselves as servants to obedience, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

¹⁷Sed danko estu al Dio, ke kvankam vi estis la sklavoj de peko, vi tamen farigxis kore obeemaj al tiu tipo de instruado, al kiu vi estas kondukitaj;

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

¹⁸kaj liberigite el peko, vi sklavigxis al justeco.

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

¹⁹Mi parolas home pro la malforteco de via karno; cxar kiel vi prezentis viajn membrojn sklavoj al malpureco kaj al maljusteco gxis maljusteco, tiel nun prezentu viajn membrojn sklavoj al justeco gxis sanktigo.

¹⁹I 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.

²⁰CXar kiam vi estis sklavoj de peko, vi estis liberaj de justeco.

²⁰For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

²¹Kian frukton do vi havis tiam el tio, pri kio vi nun hontas? cxar la fino de tio estas morto.

²¹What 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.

²²Sed nun, liberigite el peko, kaj sklavigxinte al Dio, vi havas vian frukton gxis sanktigxo, kaj por fino eternan vivon.

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

²³CXar la salajro de peko estas morto; sed la donaco de Dio estas eterna vivo en Kristo Jesuo, nia Sinjoro.

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