Lettera ai Romani - Romans 6

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Τι λοιπον θελομεν ειπει; θελομεν επιμενει εν τη αμαρτια, δια να περισσευση η χαρις;	1 What then shall we say? Shall we persist in sin that grace may abound? Of course not!
2 Μη γενοιτο? ημεις, οιτινες απεθανομεν κατα την αμαρτιαν, πως θελομεν ζησει πλεον εν αυτη;	2 How can we who died to sin yet live in it?
3 Η αγνοειτε οτι οσοι εβαπτισθημεν εις Χριστον Ιησουν, εις τον θανατον αυτου εβαπτισθημεν;	3 Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 Συνεταφημεν 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.	4 We were indeed buried with him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness of life.
5 Διοτι εαν εγειναμεν συμφυτοι με αυτον κατα την ομοιοτητα του θανατου αυτου, θελομεν εισθαι και κατα την ομοιοτητα της αναστασεως,	5 For if we have grown into union with him through a death like his, we shall also be united with him in the resurrection.
6 τουτο γινωσκοντες, οτι ο παλαιος ημων ανθρωπος συνεσταυρωθη, δια να καταργηθη το σωμα της αμαρτιας, ωστε να μη ημεθα πλεον δουλοι της αμαρτιας?	6 We know that our old self was crucified with him, so that our sinful body might be done away with, that we might no longer be in slavery to sin.
7 διοτι ο αποθανων ηλευθερωθη απο της αμαρτιας.	7 For a dead person has been absolved from sin.
8 Εαν δε απεθανομεν μετα του Χριστου, πιστευομεν οτι και θελομεν συζησει μετ' αυτου,	8 If, then, we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him.
9 γινωσκοντες οτι ο Χριστος αναστας εκ νεκρων δεν αποθνησκει πλεον, θανατος αυτον δεν κυριευει πλεον.	9 We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
10 Διοτι καθ' ο απεθανεν, απεθανεν απαξ δια την αμαρτιαν, αλλα καθ' ο ζη, ζη εις τον Θεον.	10 As to his death, he died to sin once and for all; as to his life, he lives for God.
11 Ουτω και σεις φρονειτε εαυτους οτι εισθε νεκροι μεν κατα την αμαρτιαν, ζωντες δε εις τον Θεον δια Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων.	11 Consequently, you too must think of yourselves as (being) dead to sin and living for God in Christ Jesus.
12 Ας μη βασιλευη λοιπον η αμαρτια εν τω θνητω υμων σωματι, ωστε κατα τας επιθυμιας αυτου να υπακουητε εις αυτην,	12 Therefore, sin must not reign over your mortal bodies so that you obey their desires.
13 μηδε 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.	13 And do not present the parts of your bodies to sin as weapons for wickedness, but present yourselves to God as raised from the dead to life and the parts of your bodies to God as weapons for righteousness.
14 Διοτι η αμαρτια δεν θελει σας κυριευσει? επειδη δεν εισθε υπο νομον, αλλ' υπο χαριν.	14 For sin is not to have any power over you, since you are not under the law but under grace.
15 Τι λοιπον; θελομεν αμαρτησει διοτι δεν ειμεθα υπο νομον, αλλ' υπο χαριν; μη γενοιτο.	15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Of course not!
16 Δεν 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;	16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17 Χαρις ομως εις τον Θεον, διοτι υπηρχετε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, πλην υπηκουσατε εκ καρδιας εις τον τυπον της διδαχης, εις τον οποιον παρεδοθητε,	17 But thanks be to God that, although you were once slaves of sin, you have become obedient from the heart to the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted.
18 ελευθερωθεντες δε απο της αμαρτιας, εδουλωθητε εις την δικαιοσυνην?	18 Freed from sin, you have become slaves of righteousness.
19 ανθρωπινως 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.	19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your nature. For just as you presented the parts of your bodies as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness for lawless ness, so now present them as slaves to righteousness for sanctification.
20 Διοτι οτε υπηρχετε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, υπηρχετε ελευθεροι απο της δικαιοσυνης.	20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free from righteousness.
21 Τινα λοιπον καρπον ειχετε τοτε εξ εκεινων των εργων, δια τα οποια τωρα αισχυνεσθε; διοτι το τελος εκεινων ειναι θανατος.	21 But what profit did you get then from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
22 Αλλα τωρα ελευθερωθεντες απο της αμαρτιας και δουλωθεντες εις τον Θεον, εχετε τον καρπον σας εις αγιασμον, το δε τελος ζωην αιωνιον.	22 But now that you have been freed from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit that you have leads to sanctification, and its end is eternal life.
23 Διοτι ο μισθος της αμαρτιας ειναι θανατος, το δε χαρισμα του Θεου ζωη αιωνιος δια Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων.	23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
