15那么，我们在恩典之中，不在律法之下，就可以任意犯罪吗？绝不可以！16你们难道不明白吗？你们献身给谁、服从谁，就是谁的奴隶。做罪的奴隶，结局是死亡；做上帝的奴仆，就被称为义人。17感谢上帝！你们从前虽然做过罪的奴隶，现在却衷心服从了所传给你们的教导，18从罪中得到释放，成为义的奴仆。19因为你们有人性的软弱，我就从人的立场向你们解释。以前你们将身体献给肮脏不法的事，任其奴役，助长不法。现在你们要将身体奉献给义，为义效劳，成为圣洁的人。20你们做罪的奴隶时，不受义的约束，21做了现在想起来也觉得羞耻的事，得到了什么益处呢？那些事只能导致死亡！22但现在你们已从罪中得到释放，做了上帝的奴仆，这样会使你们圣洁，最终得到永生。23因为罪的代价就是死亡，而上帝借着主基督耶稣赐下的礼物则是永生。

Dead to Sin, Alive to God
1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?2By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?3Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?4We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.5For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.6We know that our old self* was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.7For one who has died has been set free* from sin.8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.9We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.10For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God.11So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.13Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.14For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Slaves to Righteousness
15What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!16Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone 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?17But 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,18and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.19I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.20For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.21But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.22But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
