1[] Τι λοιπον θελομεν ειπει; θελομεν επιμενει εν τη αμαρτια, δια να περισσευση η χαρις;
1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2Μη γενοιτο· ημεις, οιτινες απεθανομεν κατα την αμαρτιαν, πως θελομεν ζησει πλεον εν αυτη;
2May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
3Η αγνοειτε οτι οσοι εβαπτισθημεν εις Χριστον Ιησουν, εις τον θανατον αυτου εβαπτισθημεν;
3Or don’t you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4Συνεταφημεν λοιπον μετ' αυτου δια του βαπτισματος εις τον θανατον, ινα καθως ο Χριστος ανεστη εκ νεκρων δια της δοξης του Πατρος, ουτω και ημεις περιπατησωμεν εις νεαν ζωην.
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.
5Διοτι εαν εγειναμεν συμφυτοι με αυτον κατα την ομοιοτητα του θανατου αυτου, θελομεν εισθαι και κατα την ομοιοτητα της αναστασεως,
5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
6τουτο γινωσκοντες, οτι ο παλαιος ημων ανθρωπος συνεσταυρωθη, δια να καταργηθη το σωμα της αμαρτιας, ωστε να μη ημεθα πλεον δουλοι της αμαρτιας·
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.
7διοτι ο αποθανων ηλευθερωθη απο της αμαρτιας.
7For he who has died has been freed from sin.
8Εαν δε απεθανομεν μετα του Χριστου, πιστευομεν οτι και θελομεν συζησει μετ' αυτου,
8But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
9γινωσκοντες οτι ο Χριστος αναστας εκ νεκρων δεν αποθνησκει πλεον, θανατος αυτον δεν κυριευει πλεον.
9knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him!
10Διοτι καθ' ο απεθανεν, απεθανεν απαξ δια την αμαρτιαν, αλλα καθ' ο ζη, ζη εις τον Θεον.
10For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
11Ουτω και σεις φρονειτε εαυτους οτι εισθε νεκροι μεν κατα την αμαρτιαν, ζωντες δε εις τον Θεον δια Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων.
11Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
12Ας μη βασιλευη λοιπον η αμαρτια εν τω θνητω υμων σωματι, ωστε κατα τας επιθυμιας αυτου να υπακουητε εις αυτην,
12Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
13μηδε παριστανετε τα μελη σας οπλα αδικιας εις την αμαρτιαν, αλλα παραστησατε εαυτους εις τον Θεον ως ζωντας εκ νεκρων, και τα μελη σας οπλα δικαιοσυνης εις τον Θεον.
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.
14Διοτι η αμαρτια δεν θελει σας κυριευσει· επειδη δεν εισθε υπο νομον, αλλ' υπο χαριν.
14For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
15Τι λοιπον; θελομεν αμαρτησει διοτι δεν ειμεθα υπο νομον, αλλ' υπο χαριν; μη γενοιτο.
15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!
16Δεν εξευρετε οτι εις οντινα παριστανετε εαυτους δουλους προς υπακοην, εισθε δουλοι εκεινου εις τον οποιον υπακουετε, η της αμαρτιας προς θανατον η της υπακοης προς δικαιοσυνην;
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?
17Χαρις ομως εις τον Θεον, διοτι υπηρχετε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, πλην υπηκουσατε εκ καρδιας εις τον τυπον της διδαχης, εις τον οποιον παρεδοθητε,
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.
18ελευθερωθεντες δε απο της αμαρτιας, εδουλωθητε εις την δικαιοσυνην·
18Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
19ανθρωπινως λεγω δια την ασθενειαν της σαρκος σας. Διοτι καθως παρεστησατε τα μελη σας δουλα εις την ακαθαρσιαν και εις την ανομιαν προς την ανομιαν, ουτω τωρα παραστησατε τα μελη σας δουλα εις την δικαιοσυνην προς αγιασμον.
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.
20Διοτι οτε υπηρχετε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, υπηρχετε ελευθεροι απο της δικαιοσυνης.
20For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
21Τινα λοιπον καρπον ειχετε τοτε εξ εκεινων των εργων, δια τα οποια τωρα αισχυνεσθε; διοτι το τελος εκεινων ειναι θανατος.
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.
22Αλλα τωρα ελευθερωθεντες απο της αμαρτιας και δουλωθεντες εις τον Θεον, εχετε τον καρπον σας εις αγιασμον, το δε τελος ζωην αιωνιον.
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.
23Διοτι ο μισθος της αμαρτιας ειναι θανατος, το δε χαρισμα του Θεου ζωη αιωνιος δια Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων.
23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
