Not at all! As far as sin is concerned, we are dead. So how can we keep on sinning?

断乎不可！我们在罪上死了的人岂可仍在罪中活着呢？

绝对不可！我们向罪死了的人，岂可仍在罪中活着呢？

绝对不可！我们向罪死了的人，岂可仍在罪中活着呢？

绝不可以！我们既然向罪死了，岂可继续活在罪中？

绝对不可！我们向罪死了的人，怎么可以仍然活在罪中呢？

绝对不可！我们这些向罪已经死了的人，怎么还能活在罪中呢？

斷乎不可！我們在罪上死了的人豈可仍在罪中活着呢？

絕對不可！我們向罪死了的人，豈可仍在罪中活着呢？

絕對不可！我們向罪死了的人，豈可仍在罪中活着呢？

絕不可以！我們既然向罪死了，豈可繼續活在罪中？

絕對不可！我們向罪死了的人，怎麼可以仍然活在罪中呢？

斷乎不可。我們這向罪死了的人、怎能還在罪中活呢？

絕對不可！我們這些向罪已經死了的人，怎麼還能活在罪中呢？

曰、非也、我儕於罪既死、詎尚於罪中生乎、

曰、非也我儕絕惡若死、詎復為惡若生、

非也、我儕既絕罪若死、豈可仍於罪中而生乎、

夫吾人於罪既已心死、其尚能依罪而生乎？

By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

Far from it! How shall we who died to sin still live in it?

Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

You died. Now your life is hidden with Christ in God.

“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

My brothers and sisters, when Christ died you also died as far as the law is concerned. Then it became possible for you to belong to him. He was raised from the dead. Now our lives can be useful to God.

By the law, I died as far as the law is concerned. I died so that I might live for God.

But now we have died to what used to control us. We have been set free from the law. Now we serve in the new way of the Holy Spirit. We no longer serve in the old way of the written law.

You should obey your Father. You shouldn’t give in to evil desires. They controlled your life when you didn’t know any better.

Christ suffered in his body. So prepare yourselves to think in the same way Christ did. Do this because whoever suffers in their body is finished with sin.As a result, they don’t live the rest of their earthly life for evil human desires. Instead, they live to do what God wants.You have spent enough time in the past doing what ungodly people choose to do. You lived a wild life. You longed for evil things. You got drunk. You went to wild parties. You worshiped statues of gods, which the Lord hates.

I never want to brag about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through that cross the ways of the world have been crucified as far as I am concerned. And I have been crucified as far as the ways of the world are concerned.

Some people still follow the basic spiritual powers of the world. But you died with Christ as far as these powers are concerned. So why do you act as if you still belong to the world? Here are the rules you follow.

By being baptized, we have been joined with him in a death like his. So we will certainly also be joined with him in a resurrection like his.We know that what we used to be was nailed to the cross with him. That happened so our bodies that were ruled by sin would lose their power. So we are no longer slaves of sin.That’s because those who have died have been set free from sin.We died with Christ. So we believe that we will also live with him.We know that Christ was raised from the dead and will never die again. Death doesn’t control him anymore.When he died, he died once and for all time. He did this to break the power of sin. Now that he lives, he lives in the power of God.In the same way, consider yourselves to be dead as far as sin is concerned. Now you believe in Christ Jesus. So consider yourselves to be alive as far as God is concerned.

Christ’s love controls us. We are sure that one person died for everyone. And so everyone died.Christ died for everyone. He died so that those who live should not live for themselves anymore. They should live for Christ. He died for them and was raised again.So from now on we don’t look at anyone the way the world does. At one time we looked at Christ in that way. But we don’t anymore.When anyone lives in Christ, the new creation has come. The old is gone! The new is here!

Is there any advantage in being a Jew? Is there any value in being circumcised?There is great value in every way! First of all, the Jews have been given the very words of God.What if some Jews were not faithful? Will the fact that they weren’t faithful keep God from being faithful?Not at all! God is true, even if every human being is a liar. It is written,“ You are right when you sentence me. You are fair when you judge me.”( Psalm 51:4)

I gain understanding from your rules. So I hate every path that sinners take. Nun

And that is not all. We are full of joy in God because of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of him, God has brought us back to himself.

No one in this house is in a higher position than I am. My master hasn’t held anything back from me, except you. You are his wife. So how could I do an evil thing like that? How could I sin against God?”
