| 1 אִם־כֵּן מַה־נֹּאמַר הֲנַעֲמֹד בַּחֵטְא לְמַעַן יִרְבֶּה הֶחָסֶד | 1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? |
| 2 חָלִילָה לָּנוּ כִּי מַתְנוּ לַחֵטְא וְאֵיךְ נוֹסִיף לִחְיוֹת בּוֹ | 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? |
| 3 אוֹ הַאֵינְכֶם יֹדְעִים כִּי כֻלָּנוּ הַנִּטְבָּלִים לַמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ לְמוֹתוֹ נִטְבָּלְנוּ | 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? |
| 4 לָכֵן נִקְבַּרְנוּ אִתּוֹ בַּטְּבִילָה לַמָּוֶת לְמַעַן כַּאֲשֶׁר נֵעוֹר הַמָּשִׁיחַ מִן־הַמֵּתִים בִּכְבוֹד הָאָב כֵּן נִתְהַלֵּךְ גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ בְּחַיִּים מְחֻדָּשִׁים | 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. |
| 5 כִּי אִם־נִדְבַּקְנוּ בְּדִמְיוֹן מוֹתוֹ אָכֵן גַּם־נִהְיֶה דְבוּקִים לִתְחִיָּתוֹ | 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. |
| 6 בַּאֲשֶׁר יֹדְעִים אֲנַחְנוּ כִּי־נִצְלַב אִתּוֹ הָאָדָם הַיָּשָׁן אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ לְמַעַן תְּבֻטַּל גְּוִיַּת הַחֵטְא לְבִלְתִּי הֱיוֹתֵנוּ עוֹד עֲבָדִים לַחֵטְא | 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. |
| 7 כִּי אֲשֶׁר מֵת הוּא נִקָּה מִן־הַחֵטְא | 7 For he who has died is freed from sin. |
| 8 וְהִנֵּה אִם־מַתְנוּ עִם־הַמָּשִׁיחַ נַאֲמִין כִּי גַם־נִחְיֶה עִמּוֹ | 8 But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. |
| 9 בַּאֲשֶׁר יָדַעְנוּ כִּי הַמָּשִׁיחַ אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר נֵעוֹר מִן־הַמֵּתִים לֹא יָמוּת עוֹד וְהַמָּוֶת לֹא יִשְׁלֹט בּוֹ עוֹד | 9 For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. |
| 10 כִּי אֲשֶׁר מֵת מֵת לַחֵטְא פַּעַם אֶחָת וַאֲשֶׁר חַי חַי הוּא לֵאלֹהִים | 10 The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. |
| 11 וְכֵן גַּם־אַתֶּם חִשְׁבוּ אֶתְכֶם מֵתִים לַחֵטְא וְחַיִּים לֵאלֹהִים בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ | 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. |
| 12 אִם־כֵּן אֵפוֹא אַל־תִּמְלֹךְ הַחַטָּאת בְּגוּפְכֶם אֲשֶׁר יָמוּת לִנְטוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ בְּתַאֲוֺתָיו | 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. |
| 13 גַּם אַל־תָּכִינוּ אֶת־אֵבָרֵיכֶם לִהְיוֹת כְּלֵי־עָוֶל לַחֵטְא אַךְ תָּכִינוּ אֶת־נַפְשְׁכֶם לֵאלֹהִים כַּחַיִּים מֵעִם הַמֵּתִים וְאֵבָרֵיכֶם כְּלֵי צְדָקָה לֵאלֹהִים | 13 Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness. |
| 14 כִּי הַחֵטְא לֹא יוּכַל לִמְשֹׁל עוֹד בָּכֶם יַעַן אֵינְכֶם תַּחַת יַד־הַתּוֹרָה כִּי אִם־תַּחַת יַד־הֶחָסֶד | 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. |
| 15 וְעַתָּה מָה הֲנֶחֱטָא יַעַן אֵינֶנּוּ תַּחַת יַד־הַתּוֹרָה כִּי אִם־תַּחַת יַד־הֶחָסֶד חָלִילָה | 15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! |
| 16 הֲלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי לַאֲשֶׁר תִּתְּנוּ אֶת־נַפְשְׁכֶם לִהְיוֹת עֲבָדָיו לָסוּר לְמִשְׁמַעְתּוֹ הֵן עֲבָדִים אַתֶּם לַאֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁמְעוּ־לוֹ אִם־לַחֵטְא אֱלֵי־מָוֶת אִם־לַמִּשְׁמַעַת אֱלֵי־צְדָקָה | 16 Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? |
| 17 אֲבָל תּוֹדֹת לֵאלֹהִים כִּי־הֱיִיתֶם עַבְדֵי הַחֵטְא וְאַחַר שְׁמַעְתֶּם בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶם אֶל־תְּכוּנַת הַלֶּקַח אֲשֶׁר נִמְסַרְתֶּם לוֹ | 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, |
| 18 שֻׁחְרַרְתֶּם מִידֵי הַחֵטְא לָכֵן הִשְׁתַּעְבַּדְתֶּם לַצְּדָקָה | 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. |
| 19 כְּדֶרֶךְ בְּנֵי־אָדָם אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר מִפְּנֵי רִפְיוֹן בְּשַׂרְכֶם כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר לְפָנִים הֲכִינוֹתֶם אֶת־אֵבָרֵיכֶם לַעֲבוֹדַת הַטֻּמְאָה וְהָרֶשַׁע לְהַרְשִׁיעַ כֵּן עַתָּה הָכִינוּ אֶת־אֵבָרֵיכֶם לַעֲבוֹדַת הַצְּדָקָה לְהִתְקַדֵּשׁ | 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once yielded your members to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now yield your members to righteousness for sanctification. |
| 20 כִּי־בְעֵת הֱיוֹתְכֶם עַבְדֵי הַחֵטְא חָפְשִׁים הֱיִיתֶם מִן־הַצְּדָקָה | 20 When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. |
| 21 וּמָה אֵפוֹא הַפְּרִי שֶׁהָיָה לָכֶם אָז מִן־הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר עַתָּה תֵבשׁוּ מֵהֶם כִּי אַחֲרִיתָם הַמָּוֶת | 21 But then what return did you get from the things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death. |
| 22 אָכֵן עַתָּה בִּהְיוֹתְכֶם מְשֻׁחְרָרִים מִידֵי הַחֵטְא וּמְשֻׁעְבָּדִים לֵאלֹהִים יֵשׁ לָכֶם פֶּרְיְכֶם לִקְדֻשָּׁה וְאַחֲרִיתוֹ חַיֵּי עוֹלָם | 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life. |
| 23 כִּי־שְׂכַר הַחֵטְא הוּא הַמָּוֶת וּמַתְּנַת חֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים הִיא חַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם בַּמָּשִׁיחַ יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ | 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
