Rom. 6:3 (LIT/UBS4) Or (ē) are you ignorant (agnoeite), that (hoti) as many as (hosoi) were baptized (ebaptisthēmen) into (eis) Christ (Christon) Jesus (Iēsoun) were baptized (ebaptisthēmen) into (eis) the (ton) death (thanaton) of him (autou)?

 

Rom. 6:4 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), we were buried together with (sunetaphēmen) him (autō) through (dia) the (tou) baptism (baptismatos) into (eis) death (thanaton);

 

in order that (hina), so be it as (hōsper) Christ (Christos) was awoken (ēgerthē) out (ek) of dead ones (nekrōn) through (dia) the (tēs) glory (doxēs) of the (tou) Father (patros), thusly (houtōs) we (hēmeis) also (kai) should walk around (peripatēsōmen) in (en) newness (kainotēti) of life (zōēs).

 

Rom. 6:5 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) if (ei) we have become (gegonamen) ones sprung up together with (sumphutoi) the (tō) likeness (homoiōmati) of the (tou) death (thanatou) of him (autou), BUT (alla), shall we cause ourselves to be (esometha) [sprung up together with the likeness, RE] of the (tēs) standing up (anastaseōs) [of him, RE] also (kai)!?

[in order that, RE] we (hēmas) of the (tou) [staking together with him, RE] [are] no longer (mēketi) to slave (douleuein) for the (tē) sin (hamartia).

Rom. 6:10 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) one which (ho) died away (apethanen) died away (apethanen) to the (tē) sin (hamartia) once upon [a] time (ephapax);

 

but (de) one which (ho) lives (zē) lives (zē) to the (tē) God (theō).

 

Rom. 6:11 (LIT/UBS4) Thusly (houtōs) you (humeis) also (kai) be caused to count3049 (logizesthe) yourselves (heautous) to be (einai) true (men) dead ones (nekrous) to the (tē) sin (hamartia), but (de) living (zōntas) to the (tō) God (theō) in (en) Christ (Christō) Jesus (Iēsou)!

Rom. 6:14 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) sin (hamartia) shall absolutely not be [a] lord (ou kurieusei) of you (humōn);

 

because (gar) you are (este) absolutely not (ou) under (hupo) [authority, AE] of law (nomon), BUT (alla), under (hupo) [authority, AE] of grace (charin)!

 

Rom. 6:15 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), what (ti)

 

May we sin (hamartēsōmen) because (hoti) we are (esmen) absolutely not (ouk) under (hupo) [authority, AE] of law (nomon), BUT (alla), under (hupo) [authority, AE] of grace (charin)!?

 

May it not cause itself to come to pass (mē genoito)!

 

Rom. 6:16 (LIT/UBS4) Have you absolutely not seen (ouk oidate) that (hoti) to whom (hō) you stand yourselves alongside (paristanete heautous) [as if, v13, RE] slaves (doulous) into (eis) attentive hearing (hupakoēn), you are (este) slaves (douloi) to whom (hō) you obey (hupakouete);

 

whether (ētoi) [slaves, RE] of sin (harmartias) into (eis) death (thanaton), or (ē) [slaves, RE] of attentive hearing (hupakoēs) into (eis) righteousness (dikaiosunēn)!?

 

Rom. 6:17 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) grace (charis) [be] to the (tō) God (theō);

 

because (hoti) you were being (etē) slaves (douloi) of the (tēs) sin (hamartias), but (de) you obeyed (hupēkousate) out (ek) of heart (kardias) into (eis) [being] [an] imprint5179 (tupon) of [the] orthodoxy (didachēs) which (hon) was passed along (paredothēte).

 

Rom. 6:18 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) you having been made free (eleutherōthentes) from (apo) the (tēs) sin (hamartias), you were made slaves (edoulōthēte) to the (tē) righteousness (dikaiosunē).

 

Rom. 6:19 (LIT/UBS4) I speak (legō) mortally (anthrōpinon), through (dia) [the sake, AE] of the (tēn) disability (astheneian) of the (tēs) flesh (sarkos) of you (humōn).  

 

Because (gar) so be it as (hōsper) you stood alongside (parestēsate) the (ta) members (melē) of you (humōn) [as if, v13, RE] slaves (doula) to the (tē) uncleanliness (akatharsia) and (kai) to the (tē) lawlessness (anomia), into (eis) the (tēn) lawlessness (anomian), thusly (houtōs) now (nun) stand alongside (parastēsate) the (ta) members (melē) of you (humōn) [as if, v13, RE] slaves (doula) to the (tē) righteousness (dikaiosunē), into (eis) holiness (hagiasmon).

 

Rom. 6:20 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) when (hote) you were being (ēte) slaves (douloi) of the (tēs) sin (hamartias), you were being (ēte) ones free (eleutheroi) [to stand alongside the members of you, v19, RE] to the (tē) righteousness (dikaiosunē).

 

Rom. 6:21 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), what (tina) produce (karpon) were you holding (eichete) then (tote), over (eph’) which things (hois) now (nun) you are caused to be ashamed (epaischunesthe)?  

 

Because (gar) the (to) completion (telos) of those things (ekeinōn) [is] death (thanatos)!

 

Rom. 6:22 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) now, at this moment (nuni), you having been made free (eleutherōthentes) from (apo) the (tēs) sin (hamartias), but (de) you having been made slaves (doulōthentes) to the (tō) God (theō), hold (echete) the (ton) [righteousness, v20, RE] of you (humōn) into (eis) produce (karpon) of holiness (hagiasmon);

 

but (de) the (to) completion (telos) [of holiness, RE] [is] ageless (aiōnion) life (zōēn)!

 

Rom. 6:23 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (ta) rations (opsōnia) of the (tēs) sin (hamartias) [is] death (thanatos).

 

But (de) the (to) gracious gift (charisma) of the (tou) God (theou) [is] ageless (aiōnios) life (zōe) in (en) Christ (Christō) Jesus (Iēsou), the (tō) lord (kuriō) of us (hēmōn).
