1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
1¿C'a'ru takaye chirix chixjunil a'in? ¿Ma toj yôko ajcui' chixbânunquil li mâc re nak k'axal cui'chic tânumtâk li rusilal li Dios sa' kabên?
2May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?
2¡Mâ jok'e! Mâmin târûk. Chanchan nak ac camenako lâo xban nak moco cuan ta chic xcuanquil li mâc sa' kabên. Cui mâc'a' chic xcuanquil li mâc sa' kabên, ¿c'a'ut nak toj yôko chi mâcobc?
3Or don’t you know that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
3Relic chi yâl nequenau nak lâo xkac'ul li cubi ha' xban nak xkapâb li Jesucristo. Nak xkac'ul li cubi ha' chanchan nak xocam kochben li Jesucristo xban nak xkacanab xbânunquil li kanajter na'leb.
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.
4Jo'can nak riq'uin xc'ulbal li cubi ha', chanchan nak ac xocam ut xomuke' kochben li Cristo re nak tocuaclîk cui'chic chi yo'yo ut tocuânk sa' li aq'uil yu'am, jo' nak li Jesucristo quicuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak riq'uin xnimal xlok'al ut xcuanquilal li Dios Acuabej.
5For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;
5Cui lâo xotz'akon kochben li Cristo sa' lix camic, jo'can ajcui' nak totz'akônk sa' lix cuaclijic cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' li ac' yu'am.
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.
6Nakanau nak li kanajter na'leb quiq'uehe' chiru cruz rochben li Cristo. Naraj naxye nak quisache' xcuanquil li kanajter na'leb nak quicam li Cristo. Ut anakcuan inc'a' chic cuanco rubel xcuanquil li mâc jo' nak xocuan chak junxil nak xkac'anjela chak ru li mâc.
7For he who has died has been freed from sin.
7Li ac xcam inc'a' chic namâcob. Jo'can ajcui' lâo cui camenak chic li kanajter na'leb, inc'a' chic yôko chixbânunquil li mâc.
8But if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him;
8Cui ac xocam kochben li Cristo, nakanau nak yo'yôco ajcui' kochben sa' li ac' yu'am.
9knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him!
9Lâo nakanau nak li Jesucristo quicuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak. Li Cristo inc'a' chic tâcâmk xban nak mâc'a' chic xcuanquil li câmc sa' xbên.
10For the death that he died, he died to sin one time; but the life that he lives, he lives to God.
10Jun sut ajcui' quicam li Cristo ut anakcuan yo'yo chic. Quicam re xsachbal xcuanquil li mâc. Ut anakcuan yo'yo chic li Cristo re xq'uebal xlok'al li Dios.
11Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11Jo'can ajcui' lâex. Cheq'uehak retal nak chanchan ajcui' nak camenakex ut mâc'a' chic xcuanquil li mâc sa' êbên. Ac' chic lê yu'am q'uebil êre xban li Kâcua' Jesucristo ut junajex chic riq'uin. Yo'yôquex re nak texc'anjelak chiru li Dios.
12Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
12Jo'can nak mêq'ue chic êrib rubel xcuanquil li mâc ut mêbânu chic li c'a'ru naxrahi ru lê ch'ôl.
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.
13Chi moco cheq'ue êrib chixbânunquil li mâusilal. Chek'axtesi ban êrib sa' ruk' li Dios. Xban nak ac xec'ul li ac' yu'am chanchan nak xexcuacli cui'chic chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak. Jo'can nak cheq'ue lê rok êruk' chi c'anjelac chiru li Dios re xbânunquil li us.
14For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.
14Inc'a' chic cheq'ue êrib rubel xcuanquil li mâc. Anakcuan cuanquex rubel xcuanquil lix nimal rusilal li Dios. Moco cuanquex ta chic rubel xcuanquil li chak'rab li quiq'uehe' re laj Moisés.
15What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? May it never be!
15Anakcuan cuanco sa' rusilal li Dios. Moco cuanco ta chic rubel xcuanquil li chak'rab. ¿Ma yal xban nak inc'a' cuanco rubel xcuanquil li chak'rab nak tomâcobk? ¡Inc'a' bi'an!
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?
16Ac nequenau nak cui têq'ue êrib chi c'anjelac chiru junak patrón, a'an chic tâtaklânk êre. Jo'can ajcui' cui têq'ue li mâc chok' êpatrón ut têq'ue êrib chok' aj c'anjel chiru, texcâmk. Aban cui têq'ue êrib chi taklâc xban li Dios, tâtîcobresîk lê ch'ôl.
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.
17Junxil cuanquex rubel xcuanquil li mâc. A'ut anakcuan, bantiox re li Dios, chi anchal êch'ôl nequepâb li tijleb li xek'axtesi cui' êrib.
18Being made free from sin, you became bondservants of righteousness.
18Anakcuan colbilex chic chiru li mâc. Ut xek'axtesi êrib jo' aj c'anjel chiru li Dios chixbânunquil li tîquilal.
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.
19Ninch'olob xyâlal chêru riq'uin xserak'inquil chirix li nakac'ul arin sa' ruchich'och' re nak têtau ru li ninye. Junxil xek'axtesi êrib chixbânunquil li jo' mâjo'il na'leb ut li c'a'ak re ru chi mâusilal. A'ut anakcuan, chek'axtesihak êrib chixbânunquil li tîquilal re nak texcuânk sa' santilal chiru li Dios.
20For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
20Nak toj nequec'anjela chak ru li mâc, mâc'a' na-oc cui' êre li tîquilal.
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.
21¿C'a'ru lê k'ajcâmunquil xec'ul nak xebânu chak li mâusilal? Mâc'a'. Ca'aj cui' xec'ut chak êxutân. Li c'a'ru naxq'ue li mâc, a'an li câmc.
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.
22Anakcuan colbilex chic chiru li mâc ut k'axtesinbilex chic chi c'anjelac chiru li Dios. Ut lê k'ajcâmunquil a'an lê santobresinquil ut lê yu'am chi junelic.Lix tojbal rix li mâc, a'an li câmc. Aban li mâtan naxq'ue ke li Dios, a'an li junelic yu'am sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo laj Colol ke.
23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
23Lix tojbal rix li mâc, a'an li câmc. Aban li mâtan naxq'ue ke li Dios, a'an li junelic yu'am sa' xc'aba' li Kâcua' Jesucristo laj Colol ke.
