Romans 6

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 What should we say then? Should we remain in sin so that grace may be given the more fully?	1 Τι λοιπον θελομεν ειπει; θελομεν επιμενει εν τη αμαρτια, δια να περισσευση η χαρις;
2 Out of the question! We have died to sin; how could we go on living in it?	2 Μη γενοιτο? ημεις, οιτινες απεθανομεν κατα την αμαρτιαν, πως θελομεν ζησει πλεον εν αυτη;
3 You cannot have forgotten that al of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised intohis death.	3 Η αγνοειτε οτι οσοι εβαπτισθημεν εις Χριστον Ιησουν, εις τον θανατον αυτου εβαπτισθημεν;
4 So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the deadby the Father's glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.	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.
5 If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shal be by a resurrection like his;	5 Διοτι εαν εγειναμεν συμφυτοι με αυτον κατα την ομοιοτητα του θανατου αυτου, θελομεν εισθαι και κατα την ομοιοτητα της αναστασεως,
6 realising that our former self was crucified with him, so that the self which belonged to sin should be destroyed and we should be freed from the slavery of sin.	6 τουτο γινωσκοντες, οτι ο παλαιος ημων ανθρωπος συνεσταυρωθη, δια να καταργηθη το σωμα της αμαρτιας, ωστε να μη ημεθα πλεον δουλοι της αμαρτιας?
7 Someone who has died, of course, no longer has to answer for sin.	7 διοτι ο αποθανων ηλευθερωθη απο της αμαρτιας.
8 But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shal live with him too.	8 Εαν δε απεθανομεν μετα του Χριστου, πιστευομεν οτι και θελομεν συζησει μετ' αυτου,
9 We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power overhim any more.	9 γινωσκοντες οτι ο Χριστος αναστας εκ νεκρων δεν αποθνησκει πλεον, θανατος αυτον δεν κυριευει πλεον.
10 For by dying, he is dead to sin once and for all, and now the life that he lives is life with God.	10 Διοτι καθ' ο απεθανεν, απεθανεν απαξ δια την αμαρτιαν, αλλα καθ' ο ζη, ζη εις τον Θεον.
11 In the same way, you must see yourselves as being dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus.	11 Ουτω και σεις φρονειτε εαυτους οτι εισθε νεκροι μεν κατα την αμαρτιαν, ζωντες δε εις τον Θεον δια Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων.
12 That is why you must not al ow sin to reign over your mortal bodies and make you obey their desires;	12 Ας μη βασιλευη λοιπον η αμαρτια εν τω θνητω υμων σωματι, ωστε κατα τας επιθυμιας αυτου να υπακουητε εις αυτην,
13 or give any parts of your bodies over to sin to be used as instruments of evil. Instead, give yourselvesto God, as people brought to life from the dead, and give every part of your bodies to God to be instruments ofuprightness;	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.
14 and then sin wil no longer have any power over you -- you are living not under law, but under grace.	14 Διοτι η αμαρτια δεν θελει σας κυριευσει? επειδη δεν εισθε υπο νομον, αλλ' υπο χαριν.
15 What is the implication? That we are free to sin, now that we are not under law but under grace? Outof the question!	15 Τι λοιπον; θελομεν αμαρτησει διοτι δεν ειμεθα υπο νομον, αλλ' υπο χαριν; μη γενοιτο.
16 You know wel that if you undertake to be somebody's slave and obey him, you are the slave of himyou obey: you can be the slave either of sin which leads to death, or of obedience which leads to saving justice.	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;
17 Once you were slaves of sin, but thank God you have given whole-hearted obedience to the patternof teaching to which you were introduced;	17 Χαρις ομως εις τον Θεον, διοτι υπηρχετε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, πλην υπηκουσατε εκ καρδιας εις τον τυπον της διδαχης, εις τον οποιον παρεδοθητε,
18 and so, being freed from serving sin, you took uprightness as your master.	18 ελευθερωθεντες δε απο της αμαρτιας, εδουλωθητε εις την δικαιοσυνην?
19 I am putting it in human terms because you are stil weak human beings: as once you surrenderedyourselves as servants to immorality and to a lawlessness which results in more lawlessness, now you have tosurrender yourselves to uprightness which is to result in sanctification.	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.
20 When you were the servants of sin, you felt no obligation to uprightness,	20 Διοτι οτε υπηρχετε δουλοι της αμαρτιας, υπηρχετε ελευθεροι απο της δικαιοσυνης.
21 and what did you gain from living like that? Experiences of which you are now ashamed, for that sortof behaviour ends in death.	21 Τινα λοιπον καρπον ειχετε τοτε εξ εκεινων των εργων, δια τα οποια τωρα αισχυνεσθε; διοτι το τελος εκεινων ειναι θανατος.
22 But, now you are set free from sin and bound to the service of God, your gain wil be sanctificationand the end will be eternal life.	22 Αλλα τωρα ελευθερωθεντες απο της αμαρτιας και δουλωθεντες εις τον Θεον, εχετε τον καρπον σας εις αγιασμον, το δε τελος ζωην αιωνιον.
23 For the wage paid by sin is death; the gift freely given by God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.	23 Διοτι ο μισθος της αμαρτιας ειναι θανατος, το δε χαρισμα του Θεου ζωη αιωνιος δια Ιησου Χριστου του Κυριου ημων.
