ROM 6
Reckon yourself dead to sin and live for Christ (vs 11)
1 What then are we saying? Shall we commit more sin, at least, we abide in grace?
2 Never will it happen! How will you still live in a sin, some of which, He has died for?
3 Or are you ignorant that, as much as you are baptized into Christ Jesus, you are baptized unto His death?
4 Therefore, just as being buried together with Christ unto death, and being raised from the dead, through Zoe-life of the FATHER, likewise through baptism, we should walk around in the Glory of the mordernity/innovation of the new-age.
5 because, If we had become His similitude at death, on the contrary, we would even be naturally connected/grow along with Him at resurrection;
6 absolutely know this: the things of our old man have been crucified together with Him, sin is rendered useless, at least, our bodies are no longer enslaved to sin.
7 we are justified from sin, because of the One who died.
8 but if we had died together with Christ, we believe that even we would continue to live together with Him,
9 we are aware that Christ, who has been raised out of the dead, will no longer die, and death will no longer exercise lordship over Him.
10 because, what He died for, is to die for sin once and for all, moreover, what He lives for, is to live for God.
11 and you likewise, RECKONED yourselves in Christ Jesus, to be dead indeed to sin, but Living for God.
12 then, sin should never rule in your mortal body, unto obeying its lusts.
13 never present parts of your body, a tool for wrongdoings of sin, but present yourselves to God, as though, parts of your body is out from the dead, and live on (as) instrument for justification of God
14 for, the one sin could not exercise lordship over you, for, you are not under law, but under grace.
Only the Ignorant will abuse Grace: You are a slave of whom you serve
15 What then? Are we to sin for we are not under law, but under grace? Never will it happen!
16 are you not aware that you are a slave to whom you obey - and you could present yourselves unto obedience (as) slave, either indeed for the one of sin unto death, or the One of obedience unto justification?
17 Moreover, those who had been slaves to the one of sin, have listened attentively and surrendered from their heart unto the teachings of the Type/Model Who is for the grace of God.
18 so, Justification is for those liberated from being enslaved to sin.
19 Humanly speaking, on account of weakness of your flesh to iniquities, just as you had presented the parts of your body as a slave of lawlessness unto impurities; likewise now, present the parts of your body, as a servant of righteousness/Justification unto purity.
20 for those of sin are slaves, while those of Justification are free-men (at liberty).
21 Therefore, what are the fruits you have at a time, upon which you are now ashamed? No doubt, the end-result of those things is death.
22 however, for emphasy, to be liberated from being enslaved by sin, you will hold on to the fruits unto purity; and the end result will be eternal Life of God.
23 for the wage of sin is death; and the divine-endowment (charisma) of God, is eternal Life, in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
